Re: '69 Longbed Daily Driver - Project
thanks for all of the feedback guys. i can't tell you how happy I am with how things turned out.
last night i had my first "incident" with the truck though...
i was driving home from an ICubs game outing around 9:30pm. I was reaching for my phone. just as i was pressing the speed dial for my wife i saw something brown out of the corner of my eye on the shoulder. Yeah, you probably already know where this is going.
well, a split second later i hear a thump da thump thump on the side of the truck.
I just kept going. i already had a pretty good idea of what happened, but i wanted to see it in the light, not in the dark. when i got to the gas station my fears were confirmed. It could have been much worse, but what i saw was an 8" dent on the cab, between the door and the bed. no paint cracked, and there were no scratches, just a dent.
when i got home i pulled out the body hammer and popped out as much as i could. now it's down to a 1-2" dent. Since i don't want to mess up the paint, i'll probably find a body shop to fix it the rest of the way.
anyways, that was last nights excitement. now lets just hope we don't have any more incidents like that ever again.
