Not much, ps gear box started leaking Sunday and fixed it Monday night, but when sun came out today I had to drive it to pick up my daughter at ball practice. Still not sure who's more excited her or me.
I've been thinking of selling it and starting with another truck and going full drop members ....then I thought maybe redo chassis of Irvin with drop members and a few more mods. Looking like rain this weekend so more than likely it'll stay in garage. ( praying for sunny skies ). On a brighter note my garage smells great with fumes from the 114 octane I've been running in Irvin, I don't have to drive him to get a thrill, I just walk in garage and it's like drugs to a junky!

How's your project coming along?

Hopefully get to bring mine home this weekend, I'll post up some pictures. That's kind of funny that you mentioned the 114 octane because I picked up 10 gallon this afternoon on the way home from work just in case I bring my truck home!!!!

That's a nice "fringe" benefit. It was like $7.69 a gallon up here.

A little update...been busy with work and very little time home. But I have squeezed some time in garage and made some kick panels out of abs plastic and covered with carpet.

Thank you, hoping I get time before auto fair to mold the rear corner pieces

[preacher anthony]

Looks good Ben. I got the bed on the '69 Wed., bolted down and new rear bumper installed Thurs. I'm not driving to beach Friday, I have to work and haven't worked the bugs out of the 200-r4 yet.

[Dean'smeanmachine]

looking awsome

[preacher anthony]

Ben, are u off today? I am at home, had to take wife to hospital Sat. night w/ her heart, she came home Sunday afternoon, granddaughter sick all weekend w/ fevers as high as 102.5. Just came back from Dr. office w/ her. Wild weekend, but I did get to Run to the Sun Saturday. Are u still going to AutoFair?

[preacher anthony]

Hope u r well Ben. Good day today, 4 hrs. of Driver's Ed., 9.5 straight hrs. on truck. We got the dash apart, got gas gauge to work, water temp gauge to work, hooked up dash speaker, and got cirgarette lighter to work. I needed a license plate light to go w/ new bumper. I was looking through catalog Thursday night when I remembered I had bought a chrome license plate bracket w/ a LED red running light and white license plate light. Found it on shelf in garage, problem solved. I just need the spring now for the horn and waiting on new kickdown cable from Classic Industries, should be here Tuesday. If this solves problem, I'm ready to bring her home. Even got doors to lock, so I can install new stero shortly.

Truck is at autofair this weekend and has a price tag on it. No potential buyers but everyone is loving the wheels and the truck
