Re: Cubber's Build Thread

My Granfather "Pa" is not going to be here much longer. I was able to see and talk to him this weekend. He is ready to go home, and the doctors say it could be hours, as of today. He will be missed, but his good part is about to start. Finished laying on the orange today, will let cure and sand ater this week. Also painted my door panels.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread

Truck is looking good. Can not wait to see it in person.

Hate to hear about your Grandfather, no matter how old they are or what condition they are in it is still hard to loose them. It is great that you was able to see and talk to him last weekend.

Re: Cubber's Build Thread

Well, Pa went home at about 7:45 this morning. Sad for us, good for him. While I was taking a few moments to collect myself, I wet sanded my truck. I am pretty happpy with it, but there are a few spots I will work a little more. Also drove the truck to work for the afternoon, and bent the bottom of my door on the concrete around the gas pumps when airing out my bags. Kinda sucked. all in all, a weird day. I will do my best to post some pics tomorrow. I was feeling a little off already, and after I bent the crap out of my door, I just didn't feel like a photo shoot.

Sorry for your loss but good way to look at it. Hate to hear about the truck also. It will take a little to get used to but hopefully no more damage along the way.

My mom always had the best advice. It was just a tad late. After a fall that involved blood, she'd say....."Careful!"
