Haven't decided if I'm going to go in April. Guess I better figure it out real soon. You going to be setup there again? Had a change off plans on my truck. Was going to run my ram jet 502 but decided to run a 383 instead. Just want something to cruise and easy on gas.

thats too bad in a way, but still gonna have plenty of grunt and this way you'll only have to hit 2/3 of the gas satations instead of each one.

Got the cab set and had to do some work to the floor for the body drop. Also got my new axles installed. Things are moving a little faster than last summer. Still just working on getting truck body mocked up.

Notched my floor for the body drop. Started working on a trans hump out of fiberglass. Still have some more glass to lay out. Not quite sure if I'm going to us or just cut up my high hump and make it work.

Decided to sit the bed on the frame to see about making a frame to raise the bed floor. Sometimes you have to come up with some pretty ingenious ways to do stuff by yourself!!!
