Re: Project 78 High Sierra
Glad the truck is driving better, I didn't know how much an improvement it can be by just getting new shocks

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
Well today i broke down and ordered a carport. 9x20 and its coming with a wall kit to wrap around it for free so it will basically be closed up...The mustang will be in that so the rain stops coming in through the rotted seals

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
Gotta go BIG or go home...Well I went big and then went home to install it. Went so big my engine was struggling so i had to adjust the fuel mixture...oddly enough the driver side was a 1/2 turn ahead of the the other...ODD....turned it back and then the truck started running like a champ again

Re: Project 78 High Sierra
Well today started off well! Went to the scrap yard to get rid of the 140lbs of aluminum from my old workshop and got me a cool $70. Anyway, then i went to get groceries and came home to get ready to go to the brothers show. I looked at my bank account and looked at the weird pay cycle. THIS MONTH SUCKS!!!!! 16 days between pay periods? WTF!!! The way it feel i have 2 extra PT appointments so im out some extra money and couldnt afford to do crap! So i came home, watched some hockey, mowed the lawn, and then went a stripped the paint off the other truck fender i have. So its ready for some more bondo and almost ready for some primer. Ill probably do that tomorrow and work on the workshop depending on the weather
