Great job on this build! I first thought the interior pictures were a 1:1 truck!LOL

Door knobs

Getting a little closer to done. Had to undo and alter a few things to get the cab to set down right.

Just sitting at the bench.

Got color on the trailer. Probably take a week to dry though.

I guess I'm what they call pre-diabetic as I have bouts of hypoglycemia. If it hits seems to be early morning before breakfast or between breakfast and lunch. If I eat too early or am late on lunch it will hit me. It hits quick too with little warning most times! Doctors still can't tell me what is causing it, my a1c is good and I'm never on the high side.

All the wood finally cut and placed for reference. Will paint underside black and weather and maybe scar the boards.

Started this in 1993 and decided to get it done. Decided to do the floor in wood so a dollar pack of popsicle sticks from Dollar General are being used. Picked up cat yellow from Farm & Fleet for it and the cat.

Loved the guy in Catch 22!

Had a buyer for my little Buick Special. Had him meet me at the police station and he looked it over and took it for a drive. One of the fill in officers who is a county officer was working today and had come out to see what the deal was. He suggested the guy leave his drivers license while taking the test drive while his girlfriend waited. Came back and wanted to pay with a personal check and I reminded his the deal was cash only and he acted a little funny about it. He got the cash from his girlfrind and when he was counting out the 100 dollar bills the officer picked one up and held it up to the sun and immediatly arrested the guy. 18 of the 30 100 dollar bills were bogus! Between this and people that leave you hanging I give up. EA plates are cheap and only costs me a little over 20 bucks a month for insurance I'll just keep it.

I feel your pain. Been dealing with it since 1997 after herniating 3 disc in my back slipping off the step of my truck. Got worse after my lumbar fusion surgery that left me worse. Was on opiods for a long time for it and finally took myself off them several years ago and now just use tylenol and an anti inflamitory.

Had to return with my new glasses to Walmart Vision because they were so bad after a few hours they actually would make me ill. The first time they found they got the measurements wrong at the lab. This time the measurements look good but the left eye is affected bad so now have to go back tomorrow and a different dr will redo the exam. I suffer hypoglycemia and if my sugar was low at the time of the first exam it could have made a difference according to them. Told the lady that if the exam comes out the same I want a refund and I'll go elsewhaere! The wifes glasses worked great for her!

That is so bad!LOL

Looks great! I'll use your's as a guide to building mine soon.

Over 50 test dives and three to the Titanic of I read reports correctly. That is a lot of stress it was subjected to without any proper inspection for stress if it was even possible to find.

I saw yours researching the kit while building. I like your extension on the rear panel and may do that on mine in the near future as it looks right.

Finally got it painted after nearly a year. Joined it up to the Ford 800 that was built for it.

I don't want to ruin them with the wrong setting solution. Anyone have insight into how well they form and what you used on them?

I had that kit when it was first released. I believe I finally stomped on it!LOL

Was about .50 cents a pack when I quit cold turkey for my new bride late 1970. Started back up for a couple years while working for the government Funny thing is still after almost 50 years not smoking every now and then I catch a whiff of someones smoke and for a second or two feel the urge!

That's a work horse of another color!

Great looking Mack Cabover! Really miss the days that these were still on the road!

Poor old Chevy. One of my favorite years.

It is not a day for wishing happiness and I don't like being thanked for my service on this day as it is a day for rememberence of those that made the surpreme sacrafice for this country and them alone.
