Well found the cab in and around the parts that get set round things that don't get touched

for a wile and started to think hard on this project .

once the weather brakes and the temp comes up I can get to welding and cutting again.

I know, I'm sort of working on it. Still have not moved the cab, the fellow that was going to do it is working full time and my last two weekends have been full along with the next one.  Yes I am a Slacker!  I hate working in rain and snow. LOL (still looking for that Data Plate also.)

You have my complete understanding, and if you were to arrive with a frame today, I would still not go to work any more happily.

Oh boy, try to keep anything a secret around you guys…. You gonna open your mouth one day and fall in! LOL! just don't swallow or we will never see you again!Innocent I still got a piece of the secret we did not tell Lloyd, and refuse to tell him until the truck is ready for pickup! That will drive him crazy! Unlike manfred, I am not letting the cat get out! Lloyd will have to tell you all about this when he finds out.

Matt, Lloyd did not hijack, he burgled! Stole your pics to show me what I told you how to do! LOL! I think I got it right finally, with all these good pics!

Thanks Guys!

Mike

You know what grows the best mushrooms? LOL! All you need is a 13 letter manure spreader to make a nice job!

You two get some notes shared. and Matt, any pics you can get onto photobucket will help others, and me. Hyde is actually the smart a$$ who has done the successful upgrade, and he is strangely quiet here! He is consentrating on his painting skills at the moment. Turning out a theme bike for a guy. Looking pretty bloody awesome too! But I will leave him to show off that talent! I just get to crow some!Wink

THAT LOOKS LIKE DEAJAVU to me I swear I've seen that before Mat !!!

You are on the right track some 1/2" plate steel and some 1/4"X3" angle ,a few drill bits and your off to the races.

send me an email and I'll give you some pointers that will save you a lot of head scratching.LOL

Wish Someone had told me ,I spent hrs doing a lot of head banging on the truck.

As for Mag honking his horn go to my photobuckethttp://s1129.photobucket.com/a…..dy%20work/ To see what I've been learing to do.

I'm still waiting for the thunder!!LOL

The kid is actually showing some promise! I am amazed that he has come so far in less than a year of owning an airbrush!

Now if we can get him to take out the trash!Surprised
