I'm going to leave the tank in the cab, it doesn't bother me to be there. If it was more of a street rod or highly finished I might consider moving it but for now it's good.

I've let this thing stall out...lost my sister on 12/13, she was 27 and had three kids so priorities changed a bit. It's funny how things come into perspective and become irrelevant at times (like one's hobbies). Slowly getting back to "normal" though, and I'm going to try and do SOMETHING, anything on the truck this weekend to get the fire back. It's been really freakin cold here too and I'm a big baby about cold so that's not helping either.

Re: Project "Popeye"

Thanks Mike. I remember that day I came by (10th) vividly for some reason, it was a fun day with my daughter and a nice to visit with you.

I'm getting back to it though, starting with that brake booster bracket. Just need a little motorvation.

Re: Project "Popeye"

Sorry to hear about your sis. There has been a lot of that over here in the last two months. I understand about the cold. Y'all definitely got it worse. I look forward to your updates and hope you get your mojo back.
