Finished up patching holes in my firewall. All tacked up, now have all the welding to do.

Cole Trickle · 05-09-2010, 12:23 AM

Washed and started the waxing.....

Hood and front fenders are about done but I ran out of clean waxing pads for the rear fenders and tailgate....(tommorow)

Removed the rear tint and wing window tint...none on side windows?

Cleaned up the motor and started making the underhood wiring look good.

MCSO5164 · 05-09-2010, 10:26 AM

Did some more work on the motor, and some wiring. She's almost ready to slip back in. Also did some interior work.

Went to Home depot for the wife on mothers day, And was stoped at a light and was asked "how much you want for that truck". shook my head no and went on my way.

67Slider · 05-09-2010, 08:09 PM

Was moving parts from the garage to the storage space in the shed yesterday and found a fist size dent in the inner fender well that I had painted about 3 weeks ago. Pounded out the dent, wet sanded and repainted. Yelled a little at wife, kids and in general but am over it now. No one would cop to dropping something on it. Life goes on!!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 05-09-2010, 08:21 PM

Finished my tailgate and started the markerlight and door handle shave... Wireing harness in in it kinda thats this weeks project...

anthonycenimo · 05-09-2010, 09:55 PM

yea i wasnt too thrilled about it myself but its ok theres nothing that i can do about it now gotta keep positive

AusTx68 · 05-09-2010, 10:32 PM

Went to visit my truck at the body shop. It's been gone for 2 months now and I'm going crazy! I didn't have time to really tune it before getting it running and taking it to the shop. At 31 seconds you can hear the cam but the idle is a little slow. I pulled the PS belt off just before dropping it off. Makes for fun in tight spaces.
