Drilled holes for plug welding the new strips.
Removed one offending fender bolt (offender?) which is right where the strip needs to go.
Hung the doors on the cab, and sat on some lumber to make some vroom vroom noises.
Placed the inner fenders and front fenders just to gaze once again at the awesome hard park height. Hoping to get the bed on soon.
General tidying of the shop.

All that sheet metal hanging & no images for your peeps? That's such a tease.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
