Primer and color down. Need to seam seal the botton and throw a coat of paint on that. -

4 miles one way? Up in, down out? This will determine the amount of snacks I need. 😆

We can take our time, if you’re falling behind we will just your keys and make sure your rig gets back in time for the picture then come back to find you. 😁 Kidding, we won’t leave you behind.

i was planning on that as well

I sold the black '96 on BAT. Had two 80s after I inherited this green one from my Dad in 2020. This one has factory lockers and I've learned something about myself...I have a lot more fun in rigs that are kinda beat up. The black one was too nice.

80 Series material here: I mounted an 8274 on the Montana '96. Took quite a bit of work to make it happen, but I love having the venerable old-school winch on this rig. I replaced the old solenoids with a new Warn 98381 contactor and spooled on...

Bummer is this has been just sitting around. Since there's no AC, driving here in the summer is not so fun. Anyways, I waited till the sun went down. Then I took it to the car wash then hit the cruise night.

I leave for SAS9 on the 1st of August. Might still have wet paint!😁 Hoping for a big push this weekend. Front springs and shocks all around.

Rods all laid out and tacked in. I need to finish welding and finish them off. I am happy with the shape.

It's my acceleration curve that's killing things. It just can't get up to speed. I regularly annihilate plywood at 17m/min with a half inch 2 flute. But it takes more distance than I had to get up to those speeds. The machine is pretty... -

We're getting excited. 60 and 200 will be going. Can't wait. Thanks again to @POTATO LAUNCHER for making it happen.

Ewwwwwww Looks great man. One word of advice. I used 1/4" round bar to line the front fenders of moonshine in the last round of body work, about 5 years ago. They've been great and rigid, but there is rust forming between the 1/4" round bar...

I trimmed the fenders and started laying out the 1/4" rod. I think it is going to work out ok.

That is an option. Let me see how this fender trim works out. I think it will work out.

Map #1 started on the much smaller CNC. But it’s not the size that matters…..

I am heading to the hardware store today. thoughts are to get some 1/4 steel rod and shape it to the lip. This will give it a small curve and should not cut the tire if it does touch. It will also add some strength to it.

I am refurbishing a winch for another project and made up some new battery cables. They are so nice, I may swap them with mine and use the old ones on it 😊
