It looks like I won't make it this year. I know my truck won't be there. I may run up for a day, but that's not looking good right now either....

Sat evening after work i got the main portion of my speaker box built. have some old 12s that have been sitting in their boxes for the past 3 years so i figured its time to get them setup and what better place than my burb. i wasnt able to get them finished since i dont have a way to get a proper sizing of the backing where the lip of the speaker sat in so i will hopefully get that sometime this week...
sunday just went to a carnival and put the 3 yr old daughter on some rides...

She's a hottie so maybe I'll convince her to pose with the truck once we polish it.

Yes she is hot, but the poor girl must be blind as a bat. She thinks her husband is good looking...

Went to a weekend long Church Camp at college station. That was awesome. Other than that nothing, just sitting around and waiting to get my internship started at the Chevrolet dealership so I can start on my project truck. I gotta get the truck done in 3 years.

saturday I took the family (me, wife, daughter, father-in-law, mother-in-law, and bro-in-law) to the zoo, it was National Guard appreciation day so i got in for a $1 per person. Spent 5hrs there, came home and crashed for a few hours then vegged for a few more.

sunday, woke up at 4:45am and the family (same as above) went to watch/participate in the Okc Memorial Marathon. My wife and daughter did the 1.2 mile run, my oldest bro-in-law and his wife did the half marathon (13.1miles) and my wifes aunt did the full marathon (26.2miles). Got home about 1pm, ate and went to work until 7:30pm. Made for a long day.

I drug the truck out of the garage and did a little painting.









That's POR-15. I still need to put the Chassis Black topcoat on it.

Saturday morn I got up at 6am and got into the garage to finish getting some old brackets and crap off the Dana 60 I am puttin in the Project92. Got the step notches put in and the rearend centered up. Sunday the wife and I went to OUTBACK for dinner to celebrate our anniversary. Finally sunday night got the garage cleaned up a bit. Its amazing all the dust and stuff that adds up from cleaning/welding on a frame. Plan to finish up the ladder bar setup this next weekend.

Phantom you got it in high gear. Don't you hate that you couldn't have stayed this motivated on your other truck. Regardless, you should be proud of your work. It looks like this truck is already better than the last one....

I've got a basset hound too, just can't find a picture of him. They are funny dogs to say the least.

lol thx for the pictures and if i may say so, yes she is a hottie... my wife is camera shy so i have very few of my ol lady, plenty of my trucks tho

looks like the truck is coming along nicely, can't wait to see more as she progresses. have you decided a final body color yet or trying to stay somewhat stock?
