Hey gang,

Been real busy lately so I miss getting here but I did manage to get the truck painted with a "Hot Rod Black" from Eastwood. My body man went ahead and clear coated it for me to boot.

It was just black primer sealer. This is actually paint that came in a 1gal bucket with a second bottle of hardener/activator or something... Eastwood sells it in all types of colors for just under $100. We'll see how this lasts and wears over the next year or so.

Hey boat, last 18months have been very eventful with family and work. Lot's of ups and downs with deaths and weddings and the adjustments that come along with that. I'm still here though.. What'd I miss?
