Sorry guys this one got moved back on the list. We have been doing some body work on the 86 slow progress on it right now. I have been picking up parts here and there but haven't really done much on the 69 for a while. I will get back on it when we get the 86 on the road.....I know my prioritys are all jacked up.Pics Here

This time of year is prime time for our fishing addiction. It will tie up just about every Saturday till around June. We just got back from Falcon Lake in South Texas during spring break,

Thanks guys!

I have to admit we have been slacking on the projects but they really never stray far from my imagination. I have some killer ideas for this project just need to get back on it. It's just so hard for me to push aside my first "hobby". Unfortunately, my son is just as addicted as me, he will spend 8-12 hours on the water a day right with me just looking for that next big one to bite, he never complains. But will tell me if he thinks we aren't doing the right thing or in the right area.

Thanks Jojo! You need to go, but don't stop working on your project like me because of it. I have fished every Saturday for about 2 months it seems. Won't really see any change until it gets really hot here.

See, fishing is bad!!

Fishing is bad...but a great stress reliever.

We're a little less than half way done with the body work on the 86.....I forgot how time consuming that crap is. I promise to get something done on this project as soon as the paint is complete on the 86.

For me working on the truck is a stress reliever.

Fishing would take too much effort for me at this point in my life (I work too much). I will say that I really enjoyed it when I was a kiddo!

You mentioned killer ideas? What do you have planned?

highperf4x4 04-12-2010 09:49 PM

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 
Yeah Mike, whatcha got planned? :D

I would like to make some more modern modifications to the interior of the cab and suspension. Not sure on specifics but I have some ideas about sound deading and softening the surroundings of driver. I have seen some really nice custom leathers....not sure that will be in the budget but like I said I have some ideas.

Nothing as far as progress goes. We have been totally focused on the 86. I have been gathering parts though. I scored a complete Vintage Air setup from an Ebay seller New in the box. And a few other misc. parts. I am going to hit this one hard again. Not sure if I am going to wait until I add on to the shop though. I get sick of pulling the boat out to work on anything in my shop. Should have built it 30 or 60 or heck 80 feet wider and deeper:waah:

Hey Mike, have you started on your LS harness? Or are you thinking about sending it in to get it reworked?
