Have fun getting away. Truck progress is great, taking time to enjoy life can also be rewarding and provide great memories.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
I have booked an extra two cases so I now have 4x23kg hold allowance and 2x10kg cabin allowance . But last year I ended up paying to upgrade 2 cases to 32kg at a cost of $60 each.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Don,
I realize that you hate to hand-sand, but did you know that I hand finished sanded EVERYTHING on the exterior of my truck? It is the ONLY way to truly get a flat finish! Good luck!

Martin looks as happy as a pig in poop.
You guys must have had trouble not buying up the whole shop. Glad you guys met up.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Thanks Guys!!!
We made it home today and the only catch in the whole nine yards was that I neglected to check the GMC Turn Signal lenses while at Dennis' in Tampa... I ended up with 2 LH lenses even though one box in the taped together pair of boxes was marked RH… Oh well, I will call Dennis Monday and get the right one on it's way... One Week til Clem's...
