Re: My Crew Cab Short Bed Project, AKA "Project Destiny"

Joe, its been forever since I've been on the board. The interior looks good. I guess the motor WAS just me huh? Keep at it man.

0 Budget Rollers!!!!! We could start a new group.

Thanks man!
I thought maybe I pissed you off taking so long to figure out the low motor mystery

that's not a bad idea on the new group, handle it and I'll join

I've made quite a bit of progress this past week, I was trying to be able to drive it to our meet tomorrow. The weather wasn't cooperating though. I got rained out 2 nights this week and now it looks like the meet is gonna be rained out also. Hopefully we will reschedule it for next month and I will have time for working out any bugs that pop up (and maybe, just maybe, get some primer on it) I'll try to post some pics tomorrow
