return of the fat kid (pic heavy)

so ended up getting the motor rebuilt (as a roller, :D ), it's back in but not running yet, then vintage air gets installed, gauges hooked up, dash unfucked (maybe), seats bolted in, new euro style headlights w/HID kit installed, rear plumbing unfucked, and gas filler neck relocated back outside the cab. Then i get to drive it home :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

then i get to drive it a lot, then i'll start doing interior, carpet, stereo, etc.

about fn time

tell me about it

That's awesome news!

this is a prime example of why i build my own shit, wow dude you have been through some shit, i hope some days you get to cruise it to shows finished. good luck with it

yeah, apparently not as much getting done to it as i was hoping, just pulling the motor, taking it to the rebuild shop, and stabbing it again (without getting it running yet) has burned through about $1,000 of my $1,900 credit for getting the lift.....hopefully i'll at least be able to drive it home without filing bankruptcy.....

i would build my own shit if i had a shop, tools, skills, and time to do it :D

You are more stuborn than a mule. Glad to see you are still at it. If this doesn't get the death of you its gonna be a bomb read if it makes the magazines. Good luck.

damn man, keep hoping to hear some good news from you....I guess you just can't catch a break. Glad you haven't given up!

you need to move closer so we could just do most of this shit over a couple beers
