Got alot done today, started off completing the repairs on the windshield frame, and got it in primer.

The lower part where the hinge is connected was rotted pretty bad, but I think we did a great job replacing the rusty metal with non-rusty metal.

Then I wrapped Chipper up for the last time and sprayed the bedliner in the areas of the bed that were not painted, wheelwells and inner quarters.

Then as a bonus, got 4 of the 5 holes in the dash for the gauges.

Hope to have paint on the windshield frame today, Shocks are "Out for Delivery" from Big Brown. Now if I can just get the hole in the dash for the speedo everything will be good!

Thanks Tom, And the Orange windshield is now Blue!! Got the hole cut for the speedo, took 2 hours, but it is done, got my front shocks, rears on backorder. Going to pull a late night tonight getting the gauges in, headlight switch in, and wiper switch. Before bed tonight I hope to only be waiting on Fuel tank, Windshield, rear shocks, and finish up the lights.

Cannot install windshield till I catch up with a West Coast Spy!! But looking real good for a Wednesday afternoon test drive!!!

Looking great, I just had to catch up on 4-5 pages since I was actually in the sunshine state for the last week or so. I do no know how you guys can work in that heat...

And we have no idea how you ever get out of bed when it -whatever* outside in the winter. And just think it's not even hot to us yet, it's just starting to warm up a little.

Had to take an Obligatory day off from chipper to help my Uncle drive south to start bringing his "Stash" up here to the shop in the woods. Was a good trip, and I have a great Uncle, on the way to pick up some of his goodies he let me know that he was going to give me the Bronco that he had down there. He knows how to make me happy.. So now Chipper will eventually have a companion in the Stable!

Then it was off to meet up with Tito. Funny of all the guys to come to the shop in the woods to turn a wrench or two Tito is the one to show up From California, WTF?
Great to meet the legend that is known as TITO AKA, The man in Pink!!

We got the marker lights on

Thanks for the help Tito, Hope I can repay you one day. After we dropped Tito off so he could get back to the boss we started on the tank install.

Still have to polish up the welds, but the guys did a great job on it. Still have to fab the strap to hold it in, Finish up the headlights and front turn signals, Windshield frame and glass, and the dash wiring. If all goes well I should be driving it tomorrow night.

Before Tito left, he gave me a gift.

That tank looks super nice. Way better than the other one we were commenting on. Glad Tito was able to learn you some.
