I have an appointment at the windshield shop on Thursday. Woo Hoo!

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-29-2011, 05:00 PM

Drew, good luck with your tarp and I hope for your sake the weather clears up for ya over there!

CowboyProtectionUnit · 11-29-2011, 08:05 PM

Praying for things to hold for ya!

FrankieD · 11-30-2011, 01:07 PM

I'm jealous, send the snow up here so I can start replenishing my truck fund.

If you build the house with half the attention that you've put into the truck, which is improbable-I'm sure you're putting full effort, your house will be a showpiece in your neighborhood.
Have fun driving around the neighborhood without a windchill! Are your wipers ready to be installed?

Maiden Voyage. I'm off to the windshield shop. It was a balmy 31 degrees with a 40 mph headwind.

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-01-2011, 03:46 PM

That's awesome Drew! I drove my 92 F-350 about 10 miles in the dead of winter on a 5 gallon bucket when I started to build it and had to get it to the body shop. That no windshield deal gets cold quick.

Pinky6872 · 12-01-2011, 04:08 PM

That truck is KILLER! It's builds like yours that get me excited about mine.

**67cheby** · 12-01-2011, 04:14 PM

wooo hooooo get er done !

Dinos63 · 12-01-2011, 04:17 PM

**Palf70Step** · 12-01-2011, 06:17 PM

Very Nice. You can park it at my place while your out cruising.

VA72C10 · 12-01-2011, 06:38 PM

We're not all smiles just yet.
I have a whooshing noise coming from my brake booster and no power brakes. Did I mess it up?
Muffler was contacting a cross strut and vibrating. (fixed that this afternoon)
Tow haul light comes on by itself and the tranny starts holding gears longer.

Glass is in and worked out well. $225 for a Precision front weatherstrip, glass, and installation. The best part is - if it leaks, it's their problem.

That's a super deal for the glass. If I could get that deal I'd never mess with windshields again. The seals aren't cheap and I sell used windshields for 75. Plus install and a guarantee.....WOW!

maybe an electrical thing on the tow/haul?
Sounds like a bad seal on the booster/bad booster itself???

CowboyProtectionUnit · 12-01-2011, 08:04 PM

Only Bad Part of the Video........... The Bobcat is Drowning Out the Truck!

**oldman3** · 12-01-2011, 09:17 PM

Nice going, truck looks just great....Jim

1985-GMC · 12-01-2011, 10:16 PM

Good thing you have a spare booster!

Good job man it looks great!

swamp rat · 12-01-2011, 11:12 PM

I couldn't be happier for ya!

mcbassin · 12-01-2011, 11:43 PM

Sounds like a good deal on the glass.

So you have a few bugs to work out. You knew there would be some things to tweak after the maiden voyage. Keep it up!
