Glad to see you're getting close at the paint shop.

I'm totally with you on keeping the money local and doing the work yourself, I have always made my own step side bed wood too. I made a nice router jig on my last one.

Thanks Mike, I need to do another video of the engine running fresh plugs and have the timing dialed in finally and it's running awesome, was running rich and a little sputtery in that video. How did you do your router jig? I'm trying to decide if it would be best to cut grooves with the table saw or a router?

Thanks, I had originally wants to do all Stewart Warner but was having a hard time finding the stuff I was wanting so shifted gears and went for the Old Time White Auto Meter's and still have Stewart Warner cheapy's on the bottom row. Something I may go back later on down the road and change to match the top.

The shop that's working on the bed sides just opened in Ottawa, Bowling Collision and Custom, LINK he fixed the damage to the cab I'm using also that was before he launched the full-time business, Ryan Bowling is the owner and is one of the most hard working meticulous guys around. So far he's keeping busy with insurance crack up's but does also have some slower moving complete custom and full restoration work happening, my stuff I asked that he put at the bottom of his priority list and it's worked well, he's getting around to them now and I'm just about ready for them. Body work is not my thing I've rediscovered that about myself in this process. I don't have the patience or the eyes to see what you need to see to get parts straight. I do like welding in patches.
