the lamp was Dave's fault! Thanks for the hospitality and the thoughts of the console....i am still amazed how easily that truck comes apart. Anytime you need a hand, give a shout

 

[fatboy]

Glad we coud help. Fun just hanging out besides it motivated me to spend a few hours in the garage last night cleaning!

i'm going on record as saying "i didn't do it"

the ceiling was only nine feet high! I told you to duck.

OMG!!
I better be leery of letting him at my place... I have 36 of them. ;D

Yeah! However the problem is that he comes in a just under 10 Feet tall!

That's why he live in the wilds of Vermont! No lack of headroom outside! ;D

OK, it's been a while now so I figured I would bring this back up just incase anyone has actually been following this and is wondering what's been happening. well....not much. the last thing I did back in June was to give it a quick blast with a pressure washer to try to remove the sand and grease underneath. got a lot of it and ended up with a small beach in the driveway. after that I have been preoccupied with other things and so it has just sat. these were some pictures I took after pressure washing it.

just thought I'd give a little peek at one of the things that has kept me preoccupied this summer. I've been building this on and off for the past two years and just finished it in time for winter.%)
boy am I glad it is done! I was getting a little worried and having some self doubt as it has been a while since I've actually completed a project so it felt good to finally finish something. first pic is what I started with, a 2005 Harley Davidson Softail Deuce with only 400 miles and then I guess I went a little overboard. at least now I can get back to work on the Bronco.

 

[dave67fd]

Hey man,
She looks wild. Nice job. I'm sure your proud.
Will have to get over and check it out in person sometime. Haven't been around much, crazy at work with our new takeover.

AMAZING MIGS! really came together and i like the final choice of paint!! my ridin days are over for now, but spring time may be a different story!

 

[fatboy]

It is even nicer in person! Mine is going this week, but you inspired me. I am building a fatboy when I am done with the bronco this spring! ;D

 

[migs]

thanks guys!
now I just have to get the garage in order and get back to work on these Broncos.

Garage in order yet? ;D

made some major organizational progress over the weekend, garage is almost where I want it. hope to be making more progress on the Bronco soon now that other things are out of the way....seems like it's been 2 steps forward, 5 steps back lately!

 

[tasker]

PREACHIN' to the choir!!! ;D

 

[fatboy]

I feel like I am cleaning every other week.

Sounds like me.
In my case damn garage seems never ending.Problem with me i finish one and see two more things i wan't/should do. Bronco will I'm sure be the same scenario or worse.
We'll all get them done eventually, right?

Gearing up to get back to work on the Bronco. moved enough of the other crap out of the way to be able to open the door again. looks like our old pal rust was trying to make an impression on her shiny new rocker. at the rate I'm going I'll probably have to replace it again before I finish.;D
