After seeing some of the guys on here do theirs I may have to try and do my own exhaust.
Kim

Well we had a HUGE long weekend. Don came into the city on friday and suprised me and asked if he could help sand and prep the cab for paint. of course I said YES!!!! so me hime and tyler went to my work and we had a long night. we were there until 130 in the morn. got it all prepped but I had a few things to fix the next day. So on sat Me and tyler did a bunch more. I finished prepping the cab, filling in a few pin holes, repriming and sanding then finally masking it all up. once that was done I masked all of the seams up for some seam sealer. As for the rims we decided not to polish them as it was too much work for now. In a couple more years when Tyler has some more money he would like to get some 22/20's combo for the Ol' Girl.

So this morning my friend from work Todd, text me a 8 and asked if I was ready to go. so we headed down to the shop to lay on some color on this beast. We spent all day painting the truck. but she sure looks nice. I had some troopers down at the shop all day, my daughter was there with me till the end and Mel and bentley came for a visit for a few hours. It sure was nice to see them. I just want to thank my lovely wife for putting up with me for the last 2 weeks, it has been long, and of course everyone else.......

Debbie and I are thrilled with how it looks. I don't think we have the words to express how thankful we are to have James,Todd and Paul for making this happen for Tyler. Melissa for being an understanding wife, she gets a little neglected at these time. thank you all
