Trust me John, at this joint I have no idea what it will look like, but also looking forward to it.

Thanks for checking in.




Quick and Dirty post alert.


Been chatting to Dennis in St Louis inbetween doing my yard jobs here.
He is a bit of an insomniac too, so we cross paths ot texts all day and night most days of the week.

He was spending some time on his 1966 NASCAR C10 build this weekend, wanting to get the panels mocked up and the doors back on once he had cleaned up his shop as the messy fairies had been there.



So yesterday at 16.45 UK time which is 10.45am in the US, he sent this pic, with the caption "I will give you one guess what happened here"



Seems the Nut Plate fell inside the cowl for the door hinge. And the only way to retrieve it, was to cut the cowl open.
Dennis hates welding.

Along with the comment, asking why one needed so many tools to just get one little job like that done.



Later I got this see photos from him, as the day progressed.





Progress, eventually......





Loving the look of this truck.......and we don't even have a roaring race motor in there.



And of course late afternoon he went back to the race shop and race truck as it helps pay the bills.
