An old man told me to try to learn 2 things a day. It doesn't seem like much , but add that up over a lifetime. The problem is I forget 3 things a day.

I was going to say that too, but I didn't.

Tell the truth now, you were going to say that but you forgot.

I was hoping someone would chime in that knew exactly why they won't stick.

I appreciate it alot.

Didn't get much done over the weekend. Sdailey came over and helped finish sanding the cab and taped up some of it. I finished modifying the cab lift bar so it will go a little lower and finished taping it up.

As the lift goes up and down it will tear the plastic some. I will just have to patch it as I go. I'm hoping to get it at a good height so I can paint the bottom pretty easy.

scotts62 · 05-11-2009, 11:12 PM

Looking good i cant wait to see it painted!!

jason65 · 05-12-2009, 07:30 AM

Joe these pictures don't do the cab justice. You should see it in person (like I just did).

neto · 05-12-2009, 10:03 PM

Fantastic!!! Beautiful work. I can't wait to get mine to this point.

Strodder · 05-12-2009, 10:35 PM

AWSOME Allan

You must have had a "woodie" while you were painting it. Looks great.

Thanks Joe, that's the plan. Advertising has to catch the eye. All I'll need then is a bunch of Hooters girls around it.

Wish my doors looked like that.

Keep digging Dave you'll be there soon. It took me almost 2 years too get to this point. I was getting the shop built during that time and then I got tangled up with Miata's for a short time.

That would be awesome if you came out this way. The chances of me getting to CA is slim to none. Couldn't you picture a bunch of Hooters girls around my truck.
