Ok, I’m finally going to do this. I’ve meaning to start a build thread for mine but being the expert level procrastinator that I am, I was always waiting for tomorrow.
Anyway, in previous posts , I’ve described my progress on my truck as being glacial, so I am naming this thread:
Climate Change: Project Global Warming
This way I have to avoid the embarrassment of having to explain why nothing is getting done giving me motivation to get the thing done. The work is mainly clean and paint, the pitfall is the more that is taken apart, the more is found to do or fix or replace resulting taking more apart resulting finding more stuff to do or fix or replace.
Then there is the fact I hate cutting corners, at least now I do. I also don’t have the benefit of a previous stupid hay seed owner that did idiotic things to the truck because that person was my earlier self. So you see anything butchered or fubared-up, uhh-yup, I did that.
For me, it’s a matter of time. I got most of the parts and lately, I’ve also had some that time. So, progress. There is a local July 4th parade. I hope to be in it.
Currently almost nothing is bolted together and it’s missing so much paint, it looks like a burn victim.
This is my 40 not long after I bought it. It’ll never better than it was then but my aim is to make it nice.
