Cleaned up my hellhole of a garage and then started on some body work on the drivers side. If I'm going to attempt to make it to a show I at least want it to look somewhat decent and lay out fully. Had some school work to do so I got this tacked in and went home. Hopefully finish up the rest of it tomorrow.

After working that bedside panel some I decided to cut it out and start over with another section I had. I then worked on the wheel well arches. From there I made the piece from the bumper to the wheel arches. I then finished by fixing the piece from the from the door to the bedside. Sorry for the crappy pic.

Got some more work done on it yesterday and then had to start putting it all back together to try and get it in for an alignment. Still not sure if I'll make it to the show or not but I'm gonna try. Lol.

You can do it! But watch the weather, I believe its going to rain all day Sunday.

I saw that. And in that case it's not coming. Not going to risk it to sit in the rain. Although my wipers are wired in and work. All one speed of glory!

LOL! Your still doing better than me, all I got is rain-x! I don't blame you, I wouldn't want to be stranded in the rain either. Are you going to try to go to the rev-up?

Not sure. Some of my friends are heading down Saturday and some are coming Sunday morning. We are planning on staying Sunday night. If I drive it I would rather head down Sat but if it comes down to it I will need all the time I can get. Going to a concert Friday night my gf bought us tickets to months ago so no work will happen that night.

Drove the truck to my buddy's place about 15 minutes away. It ran and drove great. Drove it home and right before I got there I saw smoke. Popped the hood and the tranny cooler was pouring fluid out. Bypassed the cooler and added some fluid. Tried driving to work this morning and it ran pretty rough. Limped it back to my other garage where I work on it and it died. Heard the fuel pump running kind of loud so I looked in the tank...... completely empty. Got lucky I made it home. Lol. Guess that's what I get for not having a working fuel guage currently.

Started working on the passenger side floors. I haven't figured out/had enough time to how to upload videos on YouTube from my phone. If you want to see videos of it driving and you have Instagram look in my signature.

Then I left the truck with a buddy while I went to a concert. Got this pic from him at a nearby bar.

Being a wimp and not driving it to beatersville. Not enough miles on it to feel comfortable....... But I'm bringing it down into town on a trailer and driving to the show so she will be there.
