Love this. Thankfully at my house Beth is an enabler. I’m currently working  a deal on a project and she has offered to kick her tractor out in the cold so it can be under cover when I get it back here.

I so wish I could be in on this, even if just for a short while, but still having big problems with my hands. Maybe when it gets to the assembly stage I could come down and help move things around or hold something in place or….just about anything ? Even for just a few minutes ?

John you can come down anytime… and you can just watch, drink coffee, water or whiskey, what ever turns you on!  😎  😎 I hope you know you are ALWAYS welcome.. and corporate has beds too…. 😎  😎  Stay a night!!! 😎

Well… I thought I better look up under them two body mounts up front.. with the two long 10mm bolts..  humm;… fuckered.. fuck,,,, another kick in my balls… 8-( Oh well… I got nothing better or more pressing to do this weekend than prep for my next week…. 😎

Being a quickey… a 2 week throw together… I was hoping to enter the ring with a solid body, needing no welding and ready to start the body work phase..  All the fits done, all the blasting done…  That can still happen… I just need to get off my arse…. 😎  😎  Cole don’t forget to bring a big wad of cash…. 😎   Your a few bucks down at the moment… 😎  😎  😎

Excited to see ya again!!! and Nico!!  Sadie seems bummed out today,.. She is going to get pepped up tomorrow!!!

Been a wild ride, but it got me here 😎

Lot of stuff in that trailer!!!!!  😎  Thats good… 😎  Pre done parts will simplify the process some!!!  😎

 

OK… the rest of my day… I didn’t get both sides done…but one is dialed.. 😎  😎  😎   I will get up and at it early and knock this other side out tomorrow!!!

Drilled a hole to weld down the nut plate on the outside… 😎

I should have left this alone… but I hated it…

 

Cap for the end of the heater channel..

My Project tomorrow  😎

Look at how much sand fell out of this rig today….8-)  Blasting gets sand in all the nooks and crannies… 😎  😎

 

Everything came out great…
