Progess takes longer than expected!!

Back in late January/early February, the plan was to repaint the truck for this year's Hot Rod Power Tour. Well, it looks like I will be driving a different truck again this year. The good news is that I have a completely brand new bed (except the steps), new doors, one piece windows, new complete grille, bewood, carpet, and wheels and tires. Here is how she looks as of about an hour ago. Three weeks worth of work left on her.

Something like that! Everytime I look at it lately, I keep telling myself that it looked great before and now , quite frankly, it looks like a turd! Oh well, with any luck I should have it all re-assembled by the end of June.

Hey Dean,
Your's sorta has the look of mine at the moment. Except for some reason I have white doors. They would probably look real good on your truck.

Krue,

1st Saturday Cruise Night happens the 1st Saturday of each month in Byram, MS (South Jackson on I-55). It is at Exit 85. Take the north frontage road about 3/4 mile to the parking lot on your right for Flashback's, Portabello's, and a few other shops. It is a great time!! I have met some great folks there. Putter, Incoma, GMan69, and several guys that are not board members. PM me if you need better driving directions. We would love to see you there. It is about an hour drive for me, but well worth it.

Dean
