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.

Re: My 1965 build thread
Joe these pictures don't do the cab justice. You should see it in person (like I just did).

Re: My 1965 build thread
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.

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. I sure can. With you in the drivers seat, and a big smile on your face.
