Man my eye hurts just thinking about it! One of my friends eye was cut by a 80 grit D/A disc that was thrown by his buddy at work, freak shit! His eye healed up but he said it was hell.

He wasn't lying. I thought tooth pain was bad.I'd take tooth pain over eye ball pain any day lol. After they get done digging around with their miniature drill at the eye doctor your eye feels like its got a terrible sun burn and somone is just continually flipping it.... And that's if you sit in the dark lol. I wouldn't even want to thinking about braving a sunny day in that condition.Just a wierd type of pain I guess.

I'm back to working all day and than going to school at night for 5 hours so I don't have a lot of time. I'm going to try and keep getting all I can done on the truck without causing a divorce lol.
I had about an hour to kill between shifts at work today so I took advantage of it the best I could. I got my engine mounts both completely done and put in. So the engine and trans are completely in and supported by the new mounts and trans cross member.
I finally got the hydroboost completely finish and installed. The only thing left to do on it is find a place to mount the remote reservoir out of the way of throttle linkages and intercooler piping. It shouldn't be to hard to mount that.
I also cut out a little piece of 3/16" steel plate and got my KDP tabbed down. As soon as that was done I got the front cover and balancer put back on. Just waiting for my little bro to get my fan pulley back to me skin can get the AC compressor back on and get the belt routed and mounted back on.

The school I'm going to is to actually get certified to do collision repair and sheet metal work. So intended up taking the dually front clip into school and should have the fenders finished up tonight. I figure I might as well get them done while the school is paying for all the materials and I have a paint booth at my disposal.

I have got the worst luck ever with trying to get anything done on this truck. Anything that could happen to slow me down is happening. It may never get done.
I went out side to get some work done between shifts at work Thursday morning. I walk out back and find my garage doors and my truck door open. I walk to work so I hadn't been in my truck in a couple of days. I got a terrible sinking feeling in my stomach. Some low life piece of shit broke into my garage and stole my air compressor, pressure washer, and a bunch of other little stuff. They got in my daily driver, left the cd player and only took a bottle of antibiotics and a bottle of cologne. Now I don't have an air compressor and I'm going to have to take even more of my truck funds to replace that instead of buying parts to get it done. I hate thiefs more than anything. I work hard for everything I have just to have some low life ass hole come and take it from me and my family.
I'm really hoping my insurance company is going to help me out on it but we'll see.

If there was anything good to come out of this I did get a really nice floor jack they left me. I guess they didn't have enough room to fit all of my stuff in their truck so they threw out a floor jack I'm sure they stole from someone else. The cops told me they'd never figure out where it came from so either throw it away or keep it.

you better make sure you have a watchdog locked up in there for the next couple of weeks as they might come back to get the rest

darn cant believe the balls of those guys , they mustve driven by one day when you where working on the truck

when i had my own workplace i'd gone nuts to find a friend who i borrowed some space to work on his car working inside with the doors wide open , not only i get the change the police come looking at the noise and give me a ticket for some oilspilling on the floor , the lighting not being up to par or sumtin stupid like that there mustve been about 20.000 euro in tools and materials in there and everyone in the street could see it sitting in there

Alright back to the truck. Sorry for all of the getting derailed off of the truck here lately. I'll try to stay on topic lol. I'm very easily distracted to say the least haha.

Going to school for body work has had me putting a lot of thought into what color to paint this thing. The front clip is about done at school now also.
I think I'm set on painting this beast a real bright royal blue with plenty of metallic in it and a heavy metallic silver accent color. I'm thinking about spraying my frame and/ or suspension components the same accent silver color. For the interior I'm stuck between tan or grey. The tan would look dope with the royal blue, but they grey would be awesome with the silver accent colors. What do you guys think?? Grey or tan interior??
