Well so much for well laid plans! The un-seasonally warm weather has postponed my plans up north. The client has delayed his plans until the ground either freezes up again or it thaws and dries.

Oh by the way I am over 50 also and only shoot when I see uninvited people driving around in my fields...lol...

I will be in touch.

Well Don, The power did go out last nite, However I did get it finished just for YOU! Now you have to LOVE ME! LOL. anyway, I hope that this works for you. As for a desciption, we are using the complete stock harness from the 96, and decided to also use the stock H/L switch so here it is, in its new form. Hope it works out!

nuke1 · 03-12-2010, 12:25 AM

Tyler58 · 03-12-2010, 08:23 PM

All the comments are great, but may have to tone it dowwn a little as Nuke 1 head is swelling and may not be able to get his head through shop door.hahaha

Tyler58 · 03-14-2010, 10:12 AM

So James and Mel with the little one came out this weekend. Me, Tyler and James went out to the shopand started working on the cab some more. I got the light switch put in the dask, I think it looks ok, and James figured out how to replace the eyebrow. Tyler and James cut the old one all out and got that are acleaned up. ONce that was done, it was back outside to finish off blasting a bit and then we could get some more done.

Tyler58 · 03-14-2010, 10:16 AM

We got the inside all fitted in and in place, then tacked in, went real well, thanks to James' elarged ego, LOL. just kidding.

Tyler58 · 03-14-2010, 10:20 AM

After supper James and Tyler went back out and finished up the eyebrow, I had to stay in and play with my cute granddaughter, Harleigh. Can't pass up those opportunities!

ezekiel · 03-14-2010, 10:06 PM

ezekiel · 03-14-2010, 10:15 PM

You're my Hero!

I've been waiting a long time to see how you were going to fix that eyebrow and I can't believe how easy you have made it look!

Now that you've shown us all how to do it, I bet I can do the same thing to mine.

Huge Thanks Man!

Bigblue29 · 03-15-2010, 09:36 AM

Nice work guys!

Tyler58 · 03-16-2010, 07:33 PM

I had a good time on the weekend with James and Tyler home . It was also good having Melissa and Harleigh home to. It is rather quiet with everybody gone home. I got the job of finishing a couple of patches in the roof front corners, then spent a couple of hours grinding. Friday was not a good day ,tried to spray a few pieces with primer and had nothing but runs. Sunday afternoon went shopping at my kind of store ( princess auto) bought a new gun, was so nice here Tuesday moved things outside and tried new spraygun out it worked great no runs here are some pictures.

Tyler58 · 03-16-2010, 07:42 PM

and a few more

OrrieG · 03-16-2010, 08:16 PM

Looks good, what kind of gun, I am starting to save for a better one. Mine is ok for rough primer but thats it.

nuke1 · 03-16-2010, 08:44 PM

Wowzers Don, do you want to come help me out now, seems I am behind in my schedule. pretty please, you seem better than me. So is the cab gonna get put on now? By the way, I had a great time down there also.

**JML55** · 03-16-2010, 10:07 PM

Great job guy. Sure is nice to see the ground with no snow. The snow is melting away pretty quick here in Winnipeg.

Tyler58 · 03-19-2010, 06:35 PM

I am not sure how much more time I can spend on Tyler's truck so started hanging a few pieces on it . Here are some more pictures.

Tyler58 · 03-19-2010, 06:39 PM
