Don,
I realize that you hate to hand-sand, but did you know that I hand finished sanded EVERYTHING on the exterior of my truck?
It is the ONLY way to truly get a flat finish!
Good luck!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Looking foward to hopefully meeting up we are staying in the celerbration suiets Old town Kissimmee :truck:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

So just how much baggage allowance do you and Amanda have for spares?

Would have been nice to join you guys there for lunch.

And Don, trust you and Mrs Boss are going to have a wonderful time.

Travel safe.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

I have booked an extra two cases so I now have 4x23kg hold allowance and 2x10kg cabin allowance . But last year I ended up paying to upgrade 2 cases to 32kg at a cost of $60 each.

Small update during our trek home...:uhmk:
Met up with Martin and Amanda on Holiday from the UK...:mm:

Took them out to eat and enjoyed a trip over to Tampa with Martin as he picked up some parts for him and also for Grizz...:metal:

You guys must have had trouble not buying up the whole shop.

Glad you guys met up.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...

Now thats what I call a memorable road trip. With prizes no less.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Thanks Guys!!!
We made it home today and the only catch in the whole nine yards was that I neglected to check the GMC Turn Signal lenses while at Dennis' in Tampa...:dohh:
I ended up with 2 LH lenses even though one box in the taped together pair of boxes was marked RH…
Oh well, I will call Dennis Monday and get the right one on it's way...:uhmk:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

MAN!!! I wish I could've went but it looks like I wont be able to have any free time been working an will be working 10hrs. mon.-fri., 4-6 sat. and 4-6 sun til about mid-January! they don't want me calling-in at all or it will affect my raise, seeing they put me on another 90 day probation, since I became the night painter at work!! but looking at about a $5-6 raise if I don't call-in at all, an if I do miss any even once, I'm looking at only $1-2 raise, don't want to give that up! kind of sucks, an with the weekend hrs. being I start at 12:30pm-1:30pm. leaves me with not being able to make any plans!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Great pics Don.

Thanks for sharing.

My favourite pic that had me gasping like fish out of water is the T shirt with Sinclair and a Chevy truck.
I have a real thing for all things Sinclair as you know.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

That red truck was Clem's Razorback red truck that he built and sold earlier this year...:metal:
