Re: The 66 JoeMomma built.
Been a while. Lots of things have happened, laid off, a year of unemployement, found a job that led to a very good job than an accident at the dunes, 1 surgery and 3 weeks have taught to be very appreciative of what I have and what could be.
Got the engine buttoned up, 2" drop coils and 2.5" drop spindles in the front plus a 1.25" sway bar have all been installed. Started on the interior work but I have no experience with body work and paint so Im going to have someone do it. I have changed my mind on the seats so I picked up some buddy buckets locally for $150. They look worse than the really are but the foam is usable. I didnt feel like making brackets and messing w/ the wiring plus I want to keep it looking sort of period correct. I Might go w/ the pattern as oklahomaduners stock buckets but in leather. The gauge cluster has been rechromed and is on its way back. Picked up a NOS bat-o-meter and very nice tach. Found all the correct windshield and side window custom trim and badges. Also got another tilt for less than $80 for one the the suburbans. Im buying things for the truck rather than working on it but to me it feels like progress. I tell myself "This is gonna end up real nice." but I still dont get off my lazy @ss. No gore but you can see what happened to my wrist, could have been paralyzed.
