Re: Project '86

20x40 storage space. This is where my truck will probably spend a lot of time

Re: Project '86

Whipped up a new tool for the shop. Not one you need everyday, but when you need it it's great to have.

And just like, this truck crawled up out of the grave to take one last gasp of air...

Re: Project '86

I had never seen any of this because your last post was before I joined. Now I've read everything and I'm up to date with where you left off. How about an update on the Shops, plural? Son. And the plans for your Square. Clearly you're moving everything over to a custom frame.

I like your idea of full custom with stock looking subtlety. Also that you want things to work well, not just look cool.

Re: Project '86

Thanks everyone, truck has been on hold while life went on but I am back on it if only briefly. My third child is due on Monday April 6th so this may be a short lived run on making progress.

Re: Project '86

Congrats on your 3rd child. I have 3 kids too and would not trade that for anything.

What made you decide to change the entire frame?

My skills set from 11 years ago didn't line up with what I find acceptable today.
