    cool.

    I got a chicken coop that needs cleaning!

    Looks great.
     
  3. The truck looks great. It's so nice to see a truck look like a truck rather than... I'll
    just stop there. Nice job and congrats on the first drive.
     
  4. got some more done today, worked on Dilusi's stainless on the 53 and installed the rocker panels and a hood on the truck.. it was a good day.

    It's coming along fine. I can see it on the road this summer..........can you? Just thought I'd give you a target to shoot for.

  18. Frank, It's going to be at Jay's in April at the BBQ ( I said it! ).. It's actually been on and off the road for a while. I've been driving it quite a bit but with the weather being ****py I'm taking the time to finish some things, but it's mostly all there.
     
  19. I got half the bed wood in today.. it's looking pretty good.
