I gotta hand it to you all.

This truck is bringing my head and enjoyment back to where I can recognise it as a positive influence.

After work.

Before shower last night.

This morning it was raining, so I could not get out in a hurry to get the non structural outrigger cut and welded in.

Prepared

I also had to get to take some stuff including a bunch of numberplates from various people including Andy in Oklahoma, down to Faversham fo Neil who had helped me buy my welder from Rallyart before.

I have to make up some new inner panels for the rear of the truck as they are missing too.

Amazingly, 6 foot long and 2 foot high.

I had contacted my regular carpet guy, Shane, to see if he had any useable offcuts to cover the panels and also a spare piece of 6x6 foot carpet for the rear floor.

Got to Neil’s place and we exchanged gifts, he had made me a California black plate wall clock.

Thank you mate.

He also gave me a bunch of registration plates for my collection.

The small,Belgian plate will,head out to Moscow, Missouri for Dave to put in his restaurant.

Also from Neil.

Love this small set.

Then we went out to his garage to look at his Valiant, a lovely car, awaiting its engine transplant.

And he offered me some red, very RED show carpet, thin, lightweight and perfect for the use I had in mind.

Thanks mate, perfect.
