Glad to see you were working and getting a lot done while your Dad, Sam and I were having a great time at GG Nashville. Truck looks awesome!

We wrapped up Nora's Birthday Festivities and took her to the Cincy Zoo on Saturday, so Sunday I was at the shop at 6:00 am and spent most of the day over there. It's rare that I get an entire day to work in the shop, but it's nice when I do.

Its looking good.

I agree, it is looking very good.

Well, we decided to push the truck out in the sun for awhile today and clean the dust off of it. My brother-in-law (and good friend) Brian came over today to help me get the bed boards all cut down and routed etc.. He is much better at wood working and in general just great at figuring how the best way to do things. He is a "true engineer" in every sense of the definition - - -anyway - -- Thanks a ton Brian. I will post some pics of the boards once we get them cleared and installed, but they came out great. I went with quarter sawn sycamore. Also a big thanks to my wife's uncles Dan and Tim aat Wilhelm Lumber who hooked me up with the boards.

It also moved for the first time under its own power tonight. WooooHooooo - -even though it was just to back it into the garage. I need to verify the TV cable adjustment with the pressure gauge and go though all of the checks and then we can test drive!

Below are a few pics of the truck sitting out in the sun.









The front bumper pan is buffed and the bumper is ready to go on. We are going to try to get the tail gate sanded, lettered, cleared again, sanded and buffed before Columbus, but if not - - -oh well it'll just be plain for the time being.

Oh - Thanks to my wife for letting me spend way too much time on the shop recently. Everyone keep your fingers crossed that we can get all the minor details wrapped up enough to be on the road and drive to Columbus Goodguys.

Really liking the truck a lot! Everything is spot on!

Brandon it looks great. That must have felt great getting it outside in the sun for the first time. I hope it all goes good and you get it ready in time for Columbus.

Man, it looks great! Looking forward to seeing it here in Columbus. It has to feel so incredible to be at this point - I'm jealous!

[wiedemab]

Thanks everyone. It is a good feeling.

As you all know, the small details just take longer than you think they will. Unless something unforeseen happens we should be able to wrap it up in the next few week.

Brandon,
That sure is looking good! I have no doubt that it will be at Columbus and we look forward to seeing it in person. By the way, I had a bag of cookies for you the other day when you stopped by, but completely forgot until we were on the road... Don't worry though, they didn't go to waste!
