Not much has happened in the last two weeks. I've been sick as hell, and things have been busy. Hopefully next week we get that tailgate on it and it can get painted.
We got the fenders finished, the real tires and wheels on it, and the lid done in the last month. It's coming along nice. We are going to get lights on it, and a tailgate this week, and then it's more or less done. I think we'll build a swing out at some point as well, but after the tailgate...

Hopefully I can get a lid knocked out this week...
