Putting the welder down for the last time on this truck will be a huge step forward.
Looking forward to the seat plan

The last welding and grinding was done today on the Shorty!! Looking great!! 😎Time for it go take a break in the blast booth until we have some more indoor room for painted projects…

I saw a picture of Kevin’s old single cab that was built by John and the crew before his employment there. Someone photo shopped it to a shorty.
I am digging the ribbed bumpers and skylight. I already have the skylight metal sitting in the big bitch……..🤔🤔🤔🤔

^^^^ No! 🙂

I'm at the age where "fuck off", "fuck you", and "fuck it" answer most questions.

Oh fuck… When I looked at that pic on my Ipod I thought it was actually done.. Now I see it is PHOTOCHOP!  Yeah, it looks awesome… But I TOLD YOU the welder has been put away!!!!  😎 😎 😎

Been a wild ride, but it got me here 😎

The roof is the only nice original panel on this shorty truck. And you want to cut and weld some silly holes in it??  Lets do a 3rd on in the middle/back too 🙂

We have to get this thing into bodywork soon…And prep everything for assembly. Hardware, tires, painting cab parts, removables, window frames, bumpers, ect, ect….So that it’ll be ready for you to slam together when you come to get it March 1st.

The next time we have some nice weather the sandblaster probably should get busy.

Probably look awesome!!!!!!  Doing cardboard headliner?  not if you do skylights…. take out them supports for more head room, no headliner at all?

No cardboard headliner. I was assuming something like the smuggler. No cardboard headliner supports just material for more headroom.

Blasted a bunch of the Shorty today! 👍🏻

More tomorrow!

yup… I put Audrey back to work.  She is going to widdle away at the blasting on the shorty during the warm parts of the day…   I imagine she will have the shell done today… Get it back in the dirty…. I am gonna work it completely before I even blast the other stuff..  That way it is clean and fresh for body work… When I start spreading mud… I will probably get Pat on the seat fabrocation..

L31?  Hey… What color is your Big Rig you bought? 😎  😎 😎
