Yeah, me too. I'm having a great time doing the work. Sometimes I think I'm not making any progress and other times I think going slow and thinking it through is better anyway.

I have been puttering on the roll cage but have hit the pause button due to needing to bend a couple more pieces. My friend with the tube bender has been difficult to hook up with because of conflicting schedules. So, I have moved on to the bed rebuild. Or rather getting ready for the bed rebuild. Today I installed the wiring harness on my Rav4 so I can tow my utility trailer. I need the trailer to move the bed to the sandblaster and get it cleaned up and find all the holes. If anyone is interested my other thread details the side line I am doing trying to reproduce the beds for the LPB 45's. A couple of years ago I made some bed sides for a local restoration co. - now I need some for my truck and will be making a few more sets for others. Now that I am into it I am going to make a complete bed and see if anyone wants them. I have a customer lined up for the first prototype so I'm getting stoked for the challenge.
