I am not kidding when I get this cab in primer I am going to have a friggin party! OMG the work, I was telling my wife the rest of the truck will be like eating an ice cream cone compared to the work I have done on the cab. Tonight I started cleaning up the rust on the inside of the top of the cowl and the back of the dash. WOW,

OMG

this sucks!

But I will get it done over the next few days and get it in primer.

I am not kidding you, I am going to have a friggin party!

Understood, sometimes it’s seems never ending with little details. You will be happy you did it correct the first time and took no shortcuts. Keep up the good work.

What are you using for primer?

SPI and believe me, I have taken a number of short cuts, just not real big short cuts. I have to get this thing done!

I agree Brian. Young guys can take forever to build a car; old guys, not so much. The older you get, the less time ahead to squander on perfectionism. I see far too many old guys die with uncompleted projects.

And more energy! When I think of the hours I put in out in the garage, working until 1 in the morning!

Nope, I want to drive this sucker and I don't have that energy!
