Well, since I finally got my little shop pretty much done I started dismantling my truck. I did the burb grille conversion late spring of last year, then decided to put off all work on vehicle projects and build a 20x30 shop in the backyard as working in the driveway really sucked. my attached garage isn't even big enough to park in and open the doors. So I saved some dough and built a shop over the spring and summer of this year. I confiscated my brothers 85 in the first pic to drive while I work on mine since I think he cranked it maybe once in the past year just to move it over in the driveway. here are some pics for your viewing pleasure.

Looks nice!

I am waiting until my shop gets finished also to start on my truck again. Working in the gravel drive sucks donkey balls.

That's going to be a good looking truck. It looks like it started out with the same paint scheme as mine...
