I pulled the wiper motor back off the truck today. I installed the new ground plate on the wiper motor and re-installed it on the truck.

looks like you have been getting lots done, George! I have been fixing up our new house, so I have only had time to do that and work. It helps me to see that you are still getting some things done. Keep up the good work!

Yea I understand about working on your home. I am doing it also. I am making our office larger. I will turn it into a bedroom for the oldest boy. And the office will joint our master bedroom.

Today I went through some of the new parts. I needed to take a inventory of the parts in my mind again. That way I don't order them a second time. I hope to paint the truck this week for sure.

Today I went and picked up the paint for the truck. I bought a new spray gun also. Maybe tomorrow I will shoot some color on the hood. Trying to do too many thing at once just isn't working out. Got to many project started and none finished. The little wife is starting to complain.

Today, I finished the sanding on the hood. Then I shoot some color on it also. I painted it in the shop so nothing would get in the paint.

Today I went down to Tarpon Springs and seen a fellow board member. He rebuilt my steering column. What a difference it made. I also got all the right parts for my shifter from the column to the transmission. I also got a new rag joint and I hope to install It this week in. Got so much to do I don't know what to do first.
This is what I will want to install this week.
steering column
steering shaft
rag jointshifter from column to transmission
If I get these parts installed it will be a lot done. The key work is IF

I painted the steering column and the shifter links today.

Nothing done on the old girl today. I had to do some more honey do's. Installed a new sink and faucet in the kitchen. Got a new 50'' flat screen led tv and a new computer. Now I know she will be happy. The computer was over due.

Grass needs cutting? That's just rude...

Orange looks good, George

Drove past your town yesterday, should of stopped and helped you mow! Stuck in Mississippi now, waiting for weather to get better to make back home to Illinois. Truck is looking good and all that attention your putting into those small parts will set it off nicely. Here's a picture to keep you cool while you mow. Dave.
