Bak at it I see. Did you move back home? Been a while since we talked

 

[big pappa b]

Oh yeah...lookin good

Nope, I was home for the weekend. Went to a bar Friday night, worked on the truck Saturday and hung out with the folks on Sunday. Next weekend I'll probley work on it a little more, then I have Thursday and Friday next week off, so maybe I'll have a few days there to work on the other trucks also.
I got the brake line in the big silver blazer, so its running again too!

Maybe the Department of Defense should contact you about building stealth tanks for them....

Or maybe Bond, you know James....I hope it is not to heavy in the end.

Should take much longer for the salt to eat through that

lose the top, whats the point?

 

[jjlaughner]

I still have alot of metal to add... the top will come off but I'll add that weight back in tubing real fast. I'm not hung up on weight, this is a rig not a twig...

I have a couple sheets of 1/16" diamond plate to reskin the doors...
