My only New Years resolution is....

Re: My only New Years resolution is....

Looking great so far...I can understand when someone restores their truck from the ground up that they don't want to drive it all the time, it's hard to keep one all spit shined up...

Re: My only New Years resolution is....

I see what the problem is!... Look at those door gaps, way too nice. Building a new truck on your own, probably better than the way it came from the factory...Awesome attention to detail....Good things take time...Carry on.

Re: My only New Years resolution is....

Like all deadlines I am running behind. I never thought I would have to blocksand the entire truck 4 times though. I am ready to hit it with 600 wet so I am getting closer, also I am on my way to the players today to pick up my front bumper and nos guards. I did get my seat recovered for an HVAC service trade though, just have to let it sit out in the sun and dewrinkle.

Re: My only New Years resolution is....

It's looking great. I am just a tick ahead as mine is painted and glass installed but not polished sanded yet. Then I am back to painting the bed wood and getting the box on. But you have done a fine job there. Mark
