I don't have good luck. I would get caught in a monsoon and have to sit it out for 3 days. LOL

Nice work! I got caught one time in the rain in my Mustang on ET Streets. It was not a fun experience, especially on 465 in Indy during rush hour. :lol:

Sorry to jump in on this. Just heard about a potential get together in the NC thread. Are you referring to the Truck Shop in Concord? That place is about 10 minutes from my house. That would be sweet.

Well, I wasn't able to get anything done on ole 68 this weekend due to circumstance but the front tires have come in and the rear tires should be here on Tuesday, this project will continue when hardships in life right now have settled. :chevy:

Well, not much has happened in the last couple weeks that thing called life happened. Hopefully soon I can get back at it and get this project back under way. The tires have come in so I can get those mounted and ready to install once I finish getting the suspension bolted up. Just really takes some time to prep all the small parts and paint them up before install but it will be good when it is rolling. :mm:
