It was still nice to get mentioned in the paper

I did get to visit with Ricardo in New Orleans for 30 min or so. Super nice guy, and enjoyed the visit. We'll schedule a date to get down there to BBQ and help him out for a day on his frame off as he could use a hand and the support.
I passed Jerome on Sunday morning when I was on my way to church. Since it was just in passing, I didn't get to see much. It sure looked nice from what I was able to see. I was in my wife's vehicle so he probably didn't even know it was me when I went by him. He sure had a big smile on his face!

He came by today and is estatic to have it back. Already waxed it this past weekend. He said he put 150 miles on it just cruising with the wife and daughter. We'll get to see it at the meeting Sunday.

Ricardo check out this thread, he added the tail gate like you picked up for yours. Bull has some great looking rigs. Thought you would enjoy. http://forum.ih8mud.com/40-55-series-tech/98297-project-colonel-1979-fj40-4.html

We'll have to ask him Jason good question. I'm sure the folks in the bolt thread would like to hear the feedback as well.

I want to know about the bolt kit as well. Is that some type of "slider" he has or just longer running boards?? Very nice.


Who's gonna tell him his bezel is on upside-down??? lol

I'll bring my screwdriver to the meeting.

Agreed, but Cannon is usually not on the road until school lets out.

Cannon's been leaving late with football practice and games so y'all should be good.

Jerome said they used alot of the bolts but not all of them. He said he still had some bolts left over. Will have to get more details from him Sunday.

Hope to sandblast, prime and paint some more parts this weekend, although just got invited to watch the LSU game from one of those new suites at the stadium Sat evening, which means Sunday AM I'll be dragging butt w/hangover, oh well, can't stop living just cus I've got a LC disassembled in the garage.

That green rig posted looks mighty nice, BTW!!
