Re: Driver on a budget.

We had some incredible weather for November here this week so I took a couple vacation days. Among other things I got a little done on the truck. I finished putting the bed wood in. I still need to install all the bolts in the field but I need someone to hold them from the top while I do that. After I had the floor in I loaded my new mountain bike that cost half what I have into this truck and took it to the mountains to finish dialing in the suspension. In the land where Subaru reigns supreme I must say I was the coolest in the parking lot! I drew some attention. On the way home I put in some gas and my homeade filler took it in at full throttle, nice. I need to make a box to cover that on the inside.

I also made a couple of great contacts. One is a dealer that specializes in hot rods and exotics. I always wanted to stop by there but he is open by appointment only. While driving by I saw his door open so I stopped in to ask if he does appraisals. (I want one even though my insurance company says they don't go by them) He does, and gave me a tour of his incredible shop and multiple rides. He also told me about a guy that could help me tune my LS so I stopped by that shop. Another great guy that wants me to fix a few minor things before we tune. He had a radical LS turbo 50 chevy in the shop he is building for a customer so I'll take any advice he gives me. I must say it is really nice when people in the know compliment your work and I made the most of our 70 degree week just before more snow.
