Looks great man, I know your pain but its just something we have to do no matter how much we want to work on our trucks instead of being at school.

**TJ's Chevy** · 01-25-2016, 09:53 PM

Nice job bud!

65sub · 01-25-2016, 09:55 PM

thanks dale, exams have been good, only one more to go on Thursday and I'm done

**TJ's Chevy** · 01-26-2016, 11:32 AM

No I haven't unfortunately. lol Spring, summer and fall are my busy times for the truck...especially since I have paint and body work to do. But this time of year it's to cold out. lol

62stepside longbox · 01-28-2016, 10:08 PM

exams are finally over and I can get back on the truck

but first I had another project to tackle that I thought I'd show you guys. Just bought this really clean 94 Honda xr100 for $400! Runs really well and all it needed was a exhaust heat shield. Made one today and decided to get fancy and printed out a Honda logo template and then painted it on. Turned out pretty good

**Palf70Step** · 01-28-2016, 10:58 PM

Looks real nice! Nice bike too!

Thanks bill, if the weather allows this weekend ill take the bike for a ride and push the truck out of the garage and get some bodywork done.

Grizz1963 · 01-29-2016, 01:39 AM

As someone who has ridden bikes since age 14, I can only approve.

And these little Hondas go well.

**TJ's Chevy** · 01-29-2016, 11:38 AM

Nice find buddy! Now get to work on that truck!

I've been outta touch with your build since page 1...

It's great to catch up and see all you've accomplished.

I really dig the maple knobs and the rear bumper mod… Truly appreciate seeing the "outside the box" thinking...

Hats off to your Dad for Parenting done Right!!! Great to see you and others your age out here getting after these old trucks… Keep up the great work and if I can offer any advice, chase your passion in whatever arena and you will never say, "dang I gotta work again today…"

One parting thought… Stay warm and get the truck time in… although our winters here are interesting, weather wise, it's hard to blame the weather all the time… One week ago I woke up to this…

…and today is forecast to be sunshine and 61F… Welcome to Arkansas!

thanks for all the compliments and wise advise Don! thinking outside the box and customizing is the best part of these trucks! I'm very thankful that my dad got me involved in all of this at a young age, i cant imagine how different my life would be if i didn't have this passion.
the weather will get better soon enough!

62stepside longbox · 01-30-2016, 12:42 PM

Just picked up some tires do a great deal last night. Almost brand new bfgoodrich premier touring radials for $100! They were just really dirty. This morning I went outside to look at them in the daylight and clean them. When cleaning them I discovered they were actually whitewalls! I had wanted whitewalls the whole time but I thought I couldn't afford them.

62stepside longbox · 01-30-2016, 12:43 PM

Dirty

62stepside longbox · 01-30-2016, 12:44 PM

And clean

**Palf70Step** · 01-30-2016, 04:58 PM

Nice!

65sub · 01-30-2016, 08:25 PM

Nice score. They look good cleaned up.

thanks guys, i wont be using them for at least a few months but i couldn't pass up the great deal. my plan is to have most of the bodywork done and have her reliable by summer, so i can actually drive it

**TJ's Chevy** · 01-30-2016, 11:29 PM

Nice score!

62stepside longbox · 01-31-2016, 03:29 PM

got some work done on the truck yesterday. pushed it outside and got busy welding. welded in the filler neck patch, the door corner and a bedside patch. didn't get a chance to grind the welds down because it started snowing. ran into something odd on the door. looks like the factory put a thick layer of bondo on. it was under the factory primer.

62stepside longbox · 01-31-2016, 03:30 PM

filler neck patch

62stepside longbox · 01-31-2016, 03:31 PM
