yeah, it just got more expensive, but we’ve come this far, and there is a long way to go.

Even down there, it's got to get painful paying for all the body work. Those guys look like they know what they're doing to boot. I'd like to hang out and watch them.

 

[gonzopancho]

I’m sure @FloridaFJ80 would enjoy that too.

A better view of just one side of the roof. Will be fixed right this time. I guess we’re gonna make replacement roof panels too.

Well, not good there, but it seems like you have the rig in a shop that will do the best to remedy! Future is looking bright!

Ain't no skin like new skin. I'd say "Nu Skin", but...

Man, that's a whole lot of work.

When he pulls the $100G from Russo & Steele it’ll all have been worth it.

 

[gonzopancho]

It’s .. not for sale.
Not for a while, anyway. Trying to make this one the truck I can still drive in my 70s
