Eh, windshield isn’t that hard to install. But I would pay someone to do it if I was doing it again.

lol you should have seen the look on the Safelite installers face when he got here to install my glass.

That thing looks GOOD! I can’t wait to see it assembled and outside to really get a look at it.

Thanks Brother.
That pic is pretty Accurate, funny and awesome. lol

I need another windshield installed too, maybe Ill put rollers on it and take off the front sheetmetal.
Mike is the guy that did your frame painting doing the body too?

My boy and I will probably do most of the prep work and bring it over to his booth for the final push. Everyone will kinda help me out with the last work, as a lot of guys are eager to see it done.

Use that backhoe to scoop out 4 big holes for your tires.....

Drive in the holes to bury the truck up to the axles.....install the windshield at a reasonable working height...... drive out.

Backhoe guys are pretty expensive. If need be, I’ll build a rolling scaffolding out of some scrap lumber. It might not be a bad idea anyways.

He’ll get paid in beer and my fine ass smile.

Grabbing some lunch while the backhoe guy is digging my footings, so I have a second.

Pulled the frame out of the garage a couple of days ago and gave her a wash. Pushed the tub into the garage and hung it from the beams I installed in there years ago. Took off the rear wheels and pushed the frame under the tub and bolted everything together.

Just checked and I should have my master cylinder at home by the time I get there. Hopefully finish up the brake lines this weekend.

I've done the low pressure tires to clear the garage more than i can count!
Right on!

 

[ktmoutfront]

Cool. I remember that feeling.

 

[bp71k5]

Woah! Unexpected!

 

[frankin5]

Sure is great steering on 2pounds of air. Someone bend some nails in those tires. Great feeling to bring it alive again. I hope to get mine off jack stands this month. Drive shafts are at Jessie getting shorted. Been five years on those stands. How time flies and life gets in the way. Outstanding accomplishment on your pile of puzzle pieces.

 

[NorCal69]

Thanks Fellas. It felt so good to romp on her for the first time.

I really thought I woulda been posting this update over a month ago. The small stuff takes so long.... and I’m not even close to seeing the finish line.

All in all, a great day tho.

 

[ZooMad75]
