Great progress, wouldn't we all love to have a community working on our own projects.

**Zane'sMom** · 10-31-2014, 10:40 AM

You are right, aero! I am lucky that the school is as enthused about it as me, and that so many generous people are helping out!

**Zane'sMom** · 11-27-2014, 01:57 PM

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I will be visiting the school on Friday 12-12 to check on project progress and get some pics.

**aerotruk63** · 11-27-2014, 02:37 PM

Pics last longer than Turkey!

**Zane'sMom** · 12-12-2014, 09:41 PM

I got an update at the school today: finishing touches being done on the cab exterior to prep for painting; brakes will be done soon, and hopefully next semester (after Holiday break) engine and cab and suspension can be put on frame; engine is built, just needs outer components put on; valve covers will be powder coated soon! I will be touching base with the local tire shop who is going to donate tires/wheels soon to plan for tires. Next year, hope to get bed completed (painted and wooden bed made), and get interior redone.
I am so grateful to the instructors for their enthusiasm for the project. Thanks Mr. S and Mr. B!! I should have engine and cab pics to post near the end of next semester.

**Zane'sMom** · 12-21-2014, 12:29 PM

Merry Christmas everyone!

**aerotruk63** · 12-22-2014, 07:44 AM

And a Merry Christmas to you too. To Your family and all the people involved in the rebuild.

**Zane'sMom** · 01-04-2015, 01:57 PM

12-27 marked 3 years since Zane passed away. Though I miss my beloved boy, I am so proud to be working on this project in his honor: making his dream of rebuilding the truck so that other kids' wishes can come true. I miss you, son.

**aerotruk63** · 01-05-2015, 10:46 AM

Anxiously awaiting more pics in the new year. Let us know how else we can help.

**Zane'sMom** · 02-07-2015, 03:48 PM

I hope to make a visit to the school in the next couple of weeks and get some new photos. Is there a good online resource to view paint schemes? I am trying to find one showing what I envision to help us determine how much paint we need. Thanks, everyone!

**Zane'sMom** · 02-08-2015, 10:52 PM

This is the paint scheme I am thinking of, only with the main color army green and the contrast color charcoal black, (or white as in the photo). What do you all think?

**Zane'sMom** · 03-13-2015, 07:20 PM

The students are on spring break. I am going to visit the school in 2 weeks, and hope to have some new pics. Hope you are all well!

Indian113 · 03-13-2015, 07:23 PM

I'm waiting on the updates, It will be so nice when the truck is running down the road.

**aerotruk63** · 03-13-2015, 08:19 PM

Two tone looks great for the truck. Will the paint be non gloss to go with an army theme?

**Zane'sMom** · 03-14-2015, 09:11 PM

You are right, Indian. It will be great to see the finished product. As far as the finish, Zane's sister Lindsey would like it gloss. I will get more input from the auto body instructor when I visit. The auto repair instructor has a senior graduating this year who wants to do the paint job on the cab, get new tires/wheels on it, and finish the engine and transmission install, hopefully by the end of this school year. I will have more info on that after my visit. Have a great Spring Break, everyone!

**Zane'sMom** · 03-27-2015, 02:00 PM

I was planning to go visit the school today to check on the project and get new pics, but my husband just had surgery and is home recuperating. We will check on Zane's Ride next Friday, and then post new photos.

**Zane'sMom** · 04-17-2015, 02:29 PM

Will try to get the new pics posted this weekend...great news! We think we found a rebuilt transmission; going to check on that today. Got the crossmember and axle sandblasted this week, and soon the air ride Porterbuilt suspension will be bolted on!!

**aerotruk63** · 04-18-2015, 07:05 AM

Your learning a lot of mechanics from this project,
Hope the Hubby's feeling better.

**Zane'sMom** · 04-24-2015, 08:49 PM

He is doing better; running North to prudhoe bay again too. Checked on a T5 transmission today that is getting rebuilt that we can get for about $300! And checked on paint and got a quote; Army green and white with clearcoat, activator, and sealer, (Dupont) for around 2500; Manager is going to check with his higher ups to see about a discount. And Instructor says they will start bolting on suspension next week!

**aerotruk63** · 04-24-2015, 09:39 PM

You fundraiser needs a T Shirt campaign. A line drawing of his truck and description of the campaign. I'd buy a few for my limited ensemble! lol

**Zane'sMom** · 04-26-2015, 08:33 PM

I have thought about that, too, aero. Let me look into it....

**The Rocknrod** · 06-27-2015, 06:49 PM

How do I make a donation?
