It's pretty cool isn't it? My oldest girl loves it. She has made a claim on it already. She's always been the one that likes the "roundy" cars as she calls them.

Thanks, it's a hard body style to find. Looks sooo much better than the 4 doors or the coupes. Swoopy. The crew cab will make a damn good farm truck. I can put a plow on it.

The top 95% of it is pretty good. The lower 5% not so much.

To be fair, I did get rid of a car today also and will sell the brown truck after I get back. I hope the land deal works out too. If it does I'll post some pics of it. There are 3 garages. The 3 stall one would be my temporary shop until I turn a large machine shed into my dream shop. It's about 40'x 80' or more.

Not much done to the truck today. PLugged the wire in for the shift indicator, worked on sealing up windshield leaks and door gasket leaks. The weather forecast pretty much shows rain every day at each venue. Might as well minimize the amount of moisture that is getting inside. I drove it to a small local cruise night and everything seems to be great.

I'll try and post stuff during the trip. I have a better phone now for doing things like that. I really need this break from work.
