Speaking of horror stories.
I remember a guy on another forum was telling about the time he took the carb off of his 4 speed 69 Mustang. It wasn't running right, so he pulled it to try and figure out the problem
He wanted to check the fuel pump while the carb was off.
Well what he didn't check was to see if the car was in gear, or if the emergency brake was on.
He reached through the window of the closed driver side door, to turn the engine over.
The fuel pump shot a stream of gas right into the open intake which started the engine. The car went down the road with the fuel pump happily pumping gas into the open intake, and the owner running beside it trying to kill the ignition, until it hit a tree.
Another time these two guys went to the paint shop to check on a hood from a 55 chevy they sent to be painted.
Well, turned out the hood was all finished, but since they weren't expecting the hood to be done so soon they had arrived in a car instead of a truck.
They got the idea that since their shop was just down the road they would put some card board on the top of their car, and each guy would stick a hand out of the window to hold the hood down.
They left the paint shop, and went down the road with the newly painted hood on top of their car, holding it down on both sides.
Things were going great so the driver stepped up the speed from 20 mph to 40 mph so they could make lunch on time.
They then passed by a friends house with said friend outside doing some yard work.
The friend WAVED at them, and they, in turn, WAVED back letting go of the hood which took off like a glider.
Well, just like a piece of bread with cheese on it, the hood landed paint side down ruining the new paint job.......
I thought both of those stories were pretty funny.

Well guys good news.
I was able to finally get the bed painted as well as do some re-shooting of some other parts that were nagging me, and the truck actually looks pretty good.
I will try to take some pictures this weekend, as I need to buy a memory chip for my new camera as shooting two pics at a time just ain't gonna cut it.

Ok guys at 7pm cst today Sat 26th, I will be posting the finished pictures of Stranger.
There is a guy who knows someone in the publishing that might, MIGHT {as in no guarantee} be interested in putting the truck in a magazine.
So I want to take the best pictures that I can. I have heard that its best to take pics close to sundown for the best results so in the mean time I will be getting things ready.

Sorry guys, but I have been trying to post the pics now for nearly 20 minutes.
I even tried to post pics one at a time, but no luck.
I will try again later, or tomorrow.

What I did to post them up, was to copy and paste the address of the pic.
Then I highlighted the address and hit the Img button.
This has to be done for each picture individually.
