Almost Done

Well, I finally had a day to spend mostly uninterrupted, doing final reassembly on my Old Yeller truck. I'm going slow on purpose so as not to scratch anything up in the process, but even taking that in to account - it's still taking longer than I thought it would or should.

For example, it's the little odd stuff that is slowing me down. The gas pedal bolts to the floor - with the bolts running through the rubber floor mat. It takes one person inside the truck to hold the top of the bolt from turning while someone else lies on their back under the truck and attaches the nuts. Since I'm just one person and since my name is not Stretch Armstrong , I had to get my wife to come out and help - which she graciously did.

Anyway - I'm two bumpers and one bench seat away from being done. Should have this old Dodge back on the road very soon.

Back Home

Old Yeller came back home yesterday. She had been gone since December. I've got a few finishing touches to go before she is ready to hit the town, but man - what a sight she is - all yellow and shiny.

I'll have more to post soon. Thanks.
