    wasnt trying to be mean. I was just saying i dont like the chicks that are driving around in stuff that they made someone else do. When they even get a little dirt or something on them they freak out. But also like it when they clean up nice after they are done. Sorry i think thats a turn on. Your lucky man.

    Cleaned up the garage and got the frame inside there today. Took a wire brush on a grinder to it and got most of the surface rust off it. Just got a couple more strips to get to. This passed weekend went to Bernie's and tacked together a set of upper a-arms I gotta weld up. So been on the lookout for this project to start up and actually go somewhere this time.

    Did some work today on the lower arms, and cleaned the cab all up. Arms are tacked up as you can see. Will probably be welded up next weekend.
