Hey bud! Just make sure you get paid workers compensation and such. You got hurt on the job and they are responsible for your medical care

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

You'll be better off in the long run Matt. Good things are around the corner for you. I can feel it. Its better to get away from that good ole boy system anyway.

You know if you need anything I got ya covered.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Thanks, Chuck. I appreciate that, and I think you are right.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

My neck was a little sore before, but it got much worse after. I went to the doctor more to prove that something was wrong, because I knew my supervisor had it out for me. I never call in sick or leave early, unless it's pretty much unbearable. I wasn't after workers comp, but the way they handled this makes me want to go after them. I thank God I was able to get out of there Monday without losing my cool. I feel like a weight has been lifted! I am gonna really try to find something I like!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Still huntin' work, lol. Got a few prospects, though. I have been working on the truck some. Pics tomorrow. Hope everyone is good.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Looking forward to the pics, Matt.

OK, been doing some small stuff. New stainless tailgate chains, mirrors, door handles, and new deluxe marker lights. Also found some cool 383 emblems to match my engine color.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

very nice!!!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Also redid my seam sealer and finished my doors (new felts, seals, armrests, etc.) Big thanks to thelonerife for some window crank clips!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

You got some cool finds bro!! :metal:

I like that 383 emblem that's sweet looking makes it pop on that orange really well!

Hope you get one of those jobs you like man, God's always watching out for us no matter what. You'll get something you'll love and enjoy! Stay positive even when it's hard to stay positive!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Also finished wet sanding (320 grit, then 2000), buffing and waxing my paint! It looks way better in person, the camera puts a weird glare on it. I am glad to be done, sometimes you just have to call it, lol.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Now I need to pull the seat out and soundproof (lol) the cab, put my new tail lights on, and about a million other little things, and a few bigger ones, like bolt my sway bar on.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Looks great :metal:

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Cool truck. I will go back and read this build when I get some more time. Man your truck looks kool.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Thanks, brother.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Hell yea bro, it looks good :metal: like the small 383 stamp

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Thanks. I was happy with the way they turned out.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Matt you are doing an awesome job. I love it...can't wait to see it again and hear it roar....there's just something about hearing that 383 come to life that makes me consider putting one in a future project.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

It was well worth it, my friend. Maybe you can take a test drive tomorrow?

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

I'm getting on a plane right now if I can be included??? :lol: jk bro! the truck is a beauty, one day maybe I'll get lucky and be able to see it in person.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread

Photo credit goes to JRANGER. Thanks, Jeff!

Thanks, buddy!!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

When are you going to use that tailgate you got from me? I keep looking for it on your truck and guess what. Do use. be good my friend.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Nice, if gas prices were better id tell ya to put up a vid of you just standing on the gas from a stand still! :metal: once i get my driveshaft hooked up, and my fuel tank hooked up... ill be putting one up :smoke:

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

I have the tailgate put away safely in my shop. It is so nice and slick that I hated to cover it with my patina paint to just have to sand it back down if I decide to do a fancy paint job next year after I do my body work. Don't worry, though, I will be using it!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

I've been meaning to do that. It does a mean burnout!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Took a job today with Waste Management. There is some HR red tape, then a physical and drug screen/background check, then I'm ready! This job represents a SIGNIFICANT pay increase over my last job, plus a better schedule and benefits. Also chances to advance, but I'm super excited the position I'm starting in! God has really brought me through this in a way that I had never even imagined! He is soooo good, I can't do anything but say Praise Him!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Congrats Matt, I'm so happy for you and what God is doing in your life. I'm hoping in the next week I'll know about my promotion and I can praise what he's done(doing) in my life. Congrats again!!!!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Awesome, Congratulations man !

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Awesome man!! Glad you got something man, even when we think God isn't watching out for us he always is man, not to get side tracked but my car is another how good God is to his children! Congrats again man!

Good luck man, and even through the ups and downs God is God. We always have to remember God is in control even when it doesn't feel like it. He still is!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread
 

Congrats :metal:
