Re: 68 project
 

I don't have good luck. I would get caught in a monsoon and have to sit it out for 3 days. LOL

Re: 68 project
 

Nice work! I got caught one time in the rain in my Mustang on ET Streets. It was not a fun experience, especially on 465 in Indy during rush hour. :lol:

Re: 68 project
 

Thanks, yes I will be very careful if I get caught in the rain, been there done that myself :lol:

Re: 68 project
 

Sorry to jump in on this. Just heard about a potential get together in the NC thread. Are you referring to the Truck Shop in Concord? That place is about 10 minutes from my house. That would be sweet.

Re: 68 project
 

Actually no, we were talking about the truck shop where I work on my truck at in Kernersville NC :chevy:

Re: 68 project
 

Ohhhhh. Ok. Well that is just a tad bit further away. :lol:

Re: 68 project
 

Well, I wasn't able to get anything done on ole 68 this weekend due to circumstance but the front tires have come in and the rear tires should be here on Tuesday, this project will continue when hardships in life right now have settled. :chevy:

Re: 68 project
 

hope your talking about weather related stuff and everything is ok man.

Re: 68 project
 

Well, not much has happened in the last couple weeks that thing called life happened. Hopefully soon I can get back at it and get this project back under way. The tires have come in so I can get those mounted and ready to install once I finish getting the suspension bolted up. Just really takes some time to prep all the small parts and paint them up before install but it will be good when it is rolling. :mm:

Re: 68 project
