CT Wrenchfest - anyone want to help finish my truck?
hey guys - I'm getting down to the wire on getting my truck finished.. picking up the tub from paint today and the rest of the pieces over the course of next week.
I was thinking this Sunday anyone who is in the area who wants to help and wants some beer can come over and help chip in. I have a lot of little stuff that needs to get bolted up and maybe.. just maybe we can have it running on Sunday 
I live in Rockfall CT, near middletown - if you'd like to come post up and I'll PM you my address - Josh and Jim might be coming down already
thanks guys!
http://forum.ih8mud.com/40-55-series...-77-build.html - my build

Anthony,
I can swing by tomorrow after work if you need a hand lifting the tub. I'm off 1/2 day friday, or sunday sounds good too. 
Anyone not following the thread, Ant basically needs to get this together by 11/11

so its raining today.. and now they are saying it will be sunny tomorrow... i'll post here if its going to be nice out tomorrow.. i wanted to get the body on there today but the weather just isn't cooperating!
also my tintiable raptor bed lining was sprayed yesterday around 6.. don't know when it started to rain but now its solid and a much lighter color.. i brought the smaller pieces inside and dried them up and the color came back to dark... I tried to dry the body as best as i could and cover it but its still really wet outside.. i hope this doesn't screw things up!
