Have inspired me yet again.
Heh... I was sitting the cab today after shooting my latest video, and I was thinking of you, and the day we can both sit in it.

That is going to be a very good day, I think.

Thanks for looking Dino, it is no where near the level of work you do; but hey, its my first one....

********************************************************************************************

Here I have done what I hope is my final door assembly.
Although I have to tell you, if there is a trick to getting a door hung all by yourself, I have yet to figure it out.... Two little hinges should not require so much adjusting.
As I was working on these doors, I had written a note to myself to not forget to emplace a small sheet of plastic for wind barrier. When it came time to get this plastic, I was about to cut up some painters drop sheets, but was mentally whining about chopping up perfectly good sheet of plastic.
Then I flashed on all the wonderful bubble wrap Brothers sent me with all the cool stuff I ordered from them !!
I am thinking this should help with wind, sound, and insulation...
I put it in place with a roll of Postal Tape, I figure that stuff should be pretty tough, but not forever like Duct Tape...
For the record, I love the Post Office, I wish they got more credit than they do for the job they have.

Then I was looking at the heater vent extension I made, and never did like how big and bulkly it looked under the dash. So I made a new one that has a lower profile and should disburse the warm air a bit better than cooking the passenger's left kneecap.

I guess in a day or so I will load up the video I shot today.
It kinda shows everything I got done these past 2 weeks.
