Joe, its been forever since I've been on the board. The interior looks good. I guess the motor WAS just me huh? Keep at it man.

0 Budget Rollers!!!!! We could start a new group.

Thanks man!
I thought maybe I pissed you off taking so long to figure out the low motor mystery

that's not a bad idea on the new group, handle it and I'll join

I've made quite a bit of progress this past week, I was trying to be able to drive it to our meet tomorrow. The weather wasn't cooperating though. I got rained out 2 nights this week and now it looks like the meet is gonna be rained out also. Hopefully we will reschedule it for next month and I will have time for working out any bugs that pop up (and maybe, just maybe, get some primer on it) I'll try to post some pics tomorrow

I can relate to this comment. We were fortunate enough to have both of our daily drivers slammed with hail on Sunday. Also fortunate enough NOT to have comprehensive coverage on them. Paid them off years ago and rolled the dice and lost. Biggest hail I've ever had hit and ruin property before.BTW good progress on the truck

Re: My Crew Cab Short Bed Project, AKA "Project Destiny"

Congrats on getting it running, Joe! I found once the big hurdles are cleared, the little stuff becomes a lot more fun, and goes quicker, too.

Sorry to hear about your cars, Mike. I had driven mine Monday, and we had some pretty big storms. I got it home, and promptly cleaned out the garage to put it in. My Dd stays outside, trying to attract hail. I don't want the cars I like to get hit, though.

Re: My Crew Cab Short Bed Project, AKA "Project Destiny"

But in Kansas, you can go in the shade and it is cooler. It's just darker in the shade down here. I moved down here in June, and that was quite a revelation.
