Too hot and muggy for serous work.

It was too hot and muggy out with the heat and smoke from forest fires that I didn't get much done but managed to play with the camera a bit.

First up is a shot of the passenger side doors that will be cut and welded to end up with doors 9-1/4 inches longer but the jury is still out on the one in the back as I need to take my Eastwood contour to it and see if it does or doesn't have a bunch of pookie in it. The drivers doors are out under the shed that collapsed and I need to dig them out. One of my buddies suggested stretching the doors first and then fitting the cab to the doors.

Next up is what happens when you stick a small truck grill in a big truck. I didn't go dig the top bar out of the shed but the grill is sitting on a 2x6 and isn't quite up to where it should be and you see that the bottom bar is far higher than you will see with the green grill. Bar length is the same though.

Next one is the big and little truck grills side by side and you can see the difference in the sides even though my shim under the little one isn't quite thick enough.
