Well here is an update of sorts, since the layoff I have purchased a 2001 Chevy and got my trailer ready for work.......also decided on a name for my business. Today was my startup date. I had a couple of jobs today and spent $53 to make $173 and helped my freind on a job that netted $200 for myself, so I can't say that it was a bad day!!! I'll get back on my truck soon!!

Thanks Nuke! It is a big leap of faith on this, but it will work out for sure. I am still working on the truck just not spending any on it right now.

Hey Kevin! The job was yard and landscape, hard work but good money!

Thanks Devil Dog!! I put some thought into it and it has double meaning also. WWII pilots asked for the "whole nine yards" of munitions for their fighter planes since it was offered in 3,6, and 9 yard belts, and everyone likes golf courses how neatly they are kept so it was a no brainer!!!!

Slick67 · 05-16-2010, 10:32 PM

Here is a small but good update. Tried cranking the motor again today after finding a couple of things that were wrong when I tried before, like a bad condensor. We got it to turn but not run. Also rebuilt one of my vent windows today for the driver side.....it is time consuming on the first one, but the second one should not even take half as long. Still gotta put the glass in though.

I think we narrowed it down to a bad condensor, hopefully a new one will help the problem!

Slick67 · 05-17-2010, 10:42 PM

A little more done today! All the glass is in except for the windsheild and I gotta make some cash before I buy one. The new stainless trim is waiting for it!! Yep....that's Ronnie in the background crying because he gave me the truck.

Thank you very much! That is something I have not heard before, but was waiting for it!! Long beds can be cool if they are done right. The rear wheel size, trim, and 55 Chevy emblems seem to "shorten" the bed just right!

My non-funded project is at a snails pace now. Still need some expensive parts that are going to have to wait, like radiator, steering wheel, interior, bed liner, etc. etc. It's killin me to know that this season may not happen for me after all.

But thank for the kudos!

Around here you rarely see shortbeds, and thats ok. After a lifetime of looking at longbeds, the shorties just look a bit stubby to me. I can't wait to get to this point of my build. You're doing a darn fine job.
