FOUR MONTHS LATER

Okay, well, I finally made it back from Jacksonville. Company had me up there to finish a project, so I wasted a whole summer I could have been working on my truck.

Right, well, since last time, I've bought a rewiring kit for the truck. I tore into it Saturday, and man, it looks complete. It looks like I can just rip out all the old wires and start from scratch. Which is good, since I've always been chasing electrical ghosts in that thing.

In other news, I've started a welding class. I'm certain any skills I learn there will be useful, especially on that top roof seam and that frightening looking rear axle support.

The big problem now is the garage, or the lack thereof. To do the bodywork, I want to start on the cab, which means tearing stuff apart. I can't do the new electrical system until I get the body torn apart. I don't want to get into the engine anymore until I pull the front fenders. Undisclosed person's backyard is not suitable for any of these operations. I have to move soon- I'm only looking at places with garages now. Awesome.
