Yah, I was a little under the *a-hem* weather this weekend.

I heard you are NOT the man! ;D ;D

You may want to check for viruses, spyware and trojans, I didnt get any pop-ups or anything using IE6, which is as porous as the floorboard of my Bronco. ;D

Yeah i tried it again this morning and it worked just fine. I have not idea what happened.

Now that i've taken the time to really look at the pics.... Holy Crap! That thing is very nice. Good job. Are you actually planning on wheeling it hard or just some nice sight seeing stuff?

My favorite wheelin' areas are the old mining towns/trails down South around the Quray, Silverton and Telluride areas. It's not Rubicon, but it's challenging in some places. I won't be doing any rock banging (on purpose), but it is built to be a fully functioning off-road vehicle. And, of course, I'll use it to get to my favorite fishin' holes! So I guess it all depends on your definition of "hard".

Where did you get that fuel door?

Where did you get that fuel door?

It's off a Mustang - even has a cool little pony inside

Did you pull it at a junkyard or order it from a site?

You would be hard pressed to find anything "junkyard" on this truck.

 

[deltarat]

I hoped not. I was wanting a new one. I just want to know where to get it.

 

[coachbarnes]

Well, after 3.5 yrs and a crap load of $$, it looks like I'm going to be getting the best Christmas present EVER! Stand by for the grand unveiling!!

Big Tease.....

 

[broncow72]

I've had a sneak peak....

If he gets that herse out of the shop soon then I will have room for mine to get prepped and painted. Hopefully it won't take 3 years.

I think he's really focused on the goal of "done by Christmas" right now. It was a good plan to "outsource" the top! How was the sneak peak? tell me man..I'm dyin' here...

 

[broncow72]

I bet you're the the kind of kid that likes to shake the Christmas presents before Christmas day, aren't you?

Gonna have to wait.

 

[Silverhorse]

nice build, can't wait for more pics

 

[BlazinCopper]

Looks great - very clean - great color, you might say I'm a fan of copper tones

Looking forward to the unveiling!

 

[coachbarnes]

Well, it's official. I'm going to pick it up Saturday. Almost 4 years, who would have dreamed that it would really be such a "Saga". My grandma has passed, so she won't get to see it, but my folks are still around. Most of the CB crowd that was around when I started has moved on, but there are a few of you who remembered when I started this. Jason (Gummi) and Jerry (BigJHoov) are making the journey with me early Saturday morning, so hopefully I'll have some pics available Saturday night. It will be in it's first show the following weekend..a couple of shows, then off to the mountains for some mild wheelin'!

Ready or not, here come's the Rajin Cajun...

 

[bigjhoov]

You gonna do the show at the Harbor on the 15th?

 

[ken75ranger]

Good luck trying to sleep until you pick it up. Glad to hear it's coming home!

Yep -- I'm optimistic and already sent in registration! ;D
