Re: Project SLIXTYFIVE
This truck project has been quite challenging. Every time I get motivated to work on it and try to start making progress I seem to run into another hurdle that drains my motivation. From having to repaint the cab once and the doors twice to radio antennae holes in the wrong location to after market wiper bezels with too narrow of slots, to brand new axle seals that leak...... anyway, you get the idea.
And some other recent acquisitions led me down the path of negative work (more on that later) but now I have to get this thing finished up and back on the road!!
Although the current cold snap is also a major deterrent, my plan is to start hitting this thing hard from now through spring with the hopes of having it running/driving this summer. I will try to keep updating here regularly and maybe that will help keep me accountable??
The list is on the garage door........ I think it filled up three pages (typed) and I'm sure it doesn't cover everything!

Re: Project SLIXTYFIVE
I think most of us run into the doldrums mid project, and you never get done, but it's all worth it when your driving it. Keep it up, you will be done before you know it. I think it looks great!
