Thanks Mike, I was laid off at the end of April, so the truck has been on the back burner. I'll keep finding time to work on her though.

Brake line for drivers side finished and installed. I was able to get the passenger side re-routed to the 85's rubber line fitting. still need to mount pass. lines to the X-member.

Welded the crack in the door. My neighbor had Central Air problems so I had to help him out. It's way to hot to be without AC.
