Went to replace a lower rear quarter patch today to find 1/8" mud and a sh*t ton of dents. So re-route.....time to hang a new rear quarter panel

Since I have been suffering from bronchitis for the past couple weeks I have concentrated my time on mechanicals instead of making dust.

So, update. New fuel pump and hot wire kit directly. New 3" RJC exhaust....its a monster. All the trans lines hooked up, transmission in, engine gone over, tweek here zip tie there, and she started right up last night for the first time. Now to learn how to tune this thing!!

Beautiful...carving a personal treasure from the wilderness. I have this problem with paint and body work....my standards are far higher than my skills. So far, they have been higher than my wallet, too...
