menace121978 · 10-01-2010, 09:21 PM

thanks for the comments fellas! this weekend all i did was break stuff and waste time trying to fix what i broke... not a good time out there. got my fenders and i have to have him redo them. i'm really upset about that to say the least. i'm going to sandblast them then use the grinder on the surface rust the painter just likes to paint over. quality workmanship for sure. heres a couple pics of the stock wheel on after hours of cleaning nasty gooey stuff off...

last ones of our babies that keep me sane while Amy's at work. they are ready for dinner!

*Stitch* · 10-01-2010, 09:32 PM

holy crap...the dog is on the kitchen table...LOL

EDIT...lol look it's a Ford Flex...lmao...

STOCKISH · 10-01-2010, 09:32 PM

I've had lots of nights where I felt like all I did was break crap! Luckily, the next night is usually better. Stick with it buddy! Great work so far.

**nlped** · 10-01-2010, 09:41 PM

I believe the painter would be "totin' an a$$ woopin' ", if he was down here in the Dirty South!

And my fiancé has a minature pooch that has run of our place too. She thinks she is the queen of the Casa, and I'm not allowed to tell her otherwise.

doesn't sound like the south is much different from how i was raised. any who,... ours run this place. do what ever they want

We like it like that most of the time.

6772owner · 10-04-2010, 01:01 PM

Dennis,

Just read through the 79 pages of your build and I have to say you do some amazing work! I love how the frame/suspension/wiring/etc came out. Cant wait to see this done!

Also, it was a pleasure meeting you two out here in Colorado as well, hope to meet up again in the future.

Keep up the great work and kick your painter for the "quality" job on your fenders!

palposity · 10-05-2010, 08:15 AM

Great job! Truck looks amazing! Although those painless wiring harnesses don't look so painless - or am I wrong?

the kit is awesome buddy! it just takes time getting everything perfect and figuring how to route everything.

here's a few pics from yesterday! getting things all cleaned up on the wiring, got new a/c vents, overflow bottle, auxiliary battery tray, blasted the a/c box, brake pedal, dog house seals, and did a little painting

good time out there on my short weekend
