coming soon, we installed the rear ends today and bolted them up. then installed the bat. boxes with air tanks bolted up. bolted up all fuel and hyd. tank brackets and set tanks in position to check to make sure they lined up. hooked up air lines to tanks and repositioned air dryer to inside frame. starting to look like a truck again.

You are gonna be awful lonely now that I have to go back to work, But its the only way I can fund my own Cruizer. Have patience and don't rush it. By the way I think gold lettering would look good when you put my name on the drivers door We need to make some progress on the one in the weeds, I'm gettin itchy P.S. do you want the skirt back? Whatever!!!

GG2! Thanks for the pictures, you know what they say a picture is a thousand words.
Looking good I can't wait to get my chassis painted. Sorry that losing your cheap help.
I guess we will be lonely together. Cheap help is better than no help at all.

MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE SUPPLIED MORE COFFEE AND BEER AND THE CHEAP HELP WOULDNT LEAVE.
