Yeah, I am for sure glad that that project is over. And thank goodness it went together much easier.

Thanks! I am so proud of this truck, so far we have put about 1300 miles on it, and she has not skipped a beat!!

Oh, that does stink! I have really liked mine so far, it is kind of nice to be able to just back up to a pump that someone is partly blocking, and not have to worry about the hose reaching HAHA. Yeah kicked it in the butt was an understatement, my dad and I worked on it every day after work from about 6 until at least 1 in the morning. Oh well, lots of work so I can enjoy it!!
The whole seat thing really ticks me off, hopefully, it shows up, I have a few suspicions of who could have taken it. I guess I will just keep a close eye out, and hopefully, I can find it before SMS gets off their butts and can send me the material I need. But at this rate, I think I have a while LOL.
