good luck narrowing it down to which one you take his picture with or at which stage of restoration. Ha Ha

This is true

not started, frame off, cab parts, I am sure he will have a blast on the C10 farm today, We are going at 9 this morning to pick up the new trailer (new to me) for the C10 farm and then we will be loading it up with parts to head up to Carlisle on Thursday.

Haha ,I'm going this morning to go pick up OL RUSTY and look at more parts and pieces and you can tell from the couple pictures with Monroe I already have more projects sitting in the barns and that's not even 1/4 of them ...it's an addiction !

Hello ? yeah I saw on Craigslist you have a 67 short bed for sale ? (Yep , it's sitting behind the barn burried in mud and rusty as heck ) Well that sounds great I'm on my way ....

**special-K** · 07-30-2016, 07:05 AM

Been there done that. Got my two now. Funny how life can come along and cure this disease right when you were enjoying being so sick.

I hope Monroe is up to date with his tetanus shot.

**GR8-68** · 07-31-2016, 07:50 AM

I am trying to get pictures to load, we are having internet problems since the storm the other night.
But me and Monroe had a very eventful day yesterday. We went yesterday morning after touring through the C10 farm and looked at a trailer. Monroe and I looked it over well and decided this was a great deal so we purchased it and then headed to Northern tool. We bought new wiring and lights for the trailer and headed back to the house to begin our work on the trailer.

Although it was extremely warm and humid we managed to get all the old wiring out and pulled the old lights. Hopefully today we can finish getting the lights fixed up and begin loading parts for our journey to Carlisle.

Cant wait to see more pics of Monroe doing his thing .

**GR8-68** · 07-31-2016, 02:35 PM

Monroe checking out Grandpa's 72

Checking out "Project 68" , he give me a few pointers and ideas for my 68 build

He climbed up on in the 67 checking out what was left, he said he would really like to have it to restore.

He also liked sitting on my 1970 John Deere I bought to restore

Is he showing you the best way to center things up?

cknfrmr · 07-31-2016, 03:38 PM

Monroe, got that cross member in today out of that 67 you are eyeballing in the above pic. It is perfect. Has a little bit of my finger on it but that's just part of the fun. Looks like your having a blast.

**Grumpy old man** · 07-31-2016, 05:22 PM

Hey , Get that chicken away from my 67 ! I know what he's up to ...

**GR8-68** · 08-01-2016, 06:07 AM

Saturday Monroe and I went and bought a new to me trailer. He really enjoyed his adventure into Kernersville and most of all roaming through Northern tool.

Monroe setting the gps

Safety first,

Sporting the new trailer at Northern tool

**GR8-68** · 08-01-2016, 06:27 AM

Monroe said he wanted to help somehow on my project 68 before he had to leave so he asked if he could sandblast a few parts

Monroe just gets all into his work

**GR8-68** · 08-01-2016, 06:30 AM

He also likes to finish what he started so he said he would like to prime and paint the parts he blasted, Monroe is a very talented fella

I did loose him a time or two though, I heard a rustle in the feedbag, yep you guessed it Monroe was in the chicken food

**GR8-68** · 08-01-2016, 06:34 AM

Nothing better than after a hard day of work on the C10 than a game of pool, Monroe is just a natural

So after an adventurous day we went in the house to relax and watch some velocity. I believe the C10 farm wore Monroe out.

Awww... Snug as a bug in a rug

Ugh ... bed bugs? I'm officially emancipating Monroe, he is on his own now =)

He's coming your way Tim, you might want to fumigate him

TexasLS1 · 08-01-2016, 11:22 PM

Haha!! Love the new pics! I'm glad he's still eating well lol

He'll never see a bed the whole time he's with me. I'll send him over to "The Lady's Oasis" (yes, there really is) at the show. I'll tell them he's actually a tough chick who needs the fem treatment. They'll have him so smellied up he'll repel more than bugs!

It's good to see that he's having a great time.

**GR8-68** · 08-02-2016, 09:13 PM

Well, Monroe and I had a great day. He went to work with me and met a few of the guys, we ate lunch at the Chinese restaurant, he loved won ton soup. Then we got home and began loading the trailer and truck to journey Thursday towards Carlisle. Sure am going to miss him.
