Got a good afternoon of work in my tail gates are on and aligned. i took 2 sets of tail gates with bad bottoms and good tops and made a good set. i never took any pics during, just the aftermath. all of the body work is done one more wet sanding and a nice day and the tub wil be lookin good

took the day off to paint and what a joke. orderd my paint yesterday at 2 to pick up at 9 today , no paint had to go to another napa. even though i have been painting since the mid 80s
i still get the jitters and with the bad luck i was domed. i got the bud lite courage before paintining and all came out well i love the color. game on just got to hurculine and set back on the frame getting closer

Rob,

That is looking sweet. I forgot Scott said you were builing one up when I seen him at Motorama.
Take it to Big Dogs main jambo. I will be bringing mine down to putt around in. I just got mine out for the year yesterday.

Keep it up and dont go and dent it right away like I did. Just need new side mirror for the start of the summer.
