Project 'bout time
alright guys, been on the board for a few years, been trading parts, and knowledge, in an attempt to restore my truck, and finally, the time has come...
Here's a brief timeline so far: August 2002 - Purchased truck upon return from Afghanistan. September 2002 - Received orders to report to Minneapolis MN in 30 days, which meant i had to leave it behind. Oct '02 to June '06 - Truck sat at my grandparents house in CA, while i collected parts in MN. July '06 - Hauled truck from California to Minnesota, Truck didn't run, after sitting for 4 years, so it sat for the winter. Spring '07 - Replaced the motor and transmission. installed power steering. at that time LockDoc sold me a short frame, but needed to get my RX7 V8 project out of the garage, before more work could be done, and next thing i know, it's winter again. Summer '08 - DIVORCE. no money no time, no work done. Spring/Summer '09 FINALLY made some real progress!!! Before  Minnesota 06-ish  A few weeks ago  So as the name would suggest, "It's about time"

Re: Project 'bout time
Hey, you need to flip your phone over or flip your house over, otherwise something is wrong with your frame...
 Good start. Keep the pics coming.
