It's real funny how when you tell people you need money, they get distant and silent. The guy with the red dodge was supposed to be coming to get it Saturday. I haven't heard anything from him since Friday afternoon. I told the kid that owns the blue ford that I couldn't work on his truck anymore until he pays me towards the labor I've done to it. I've got 120hrs in it, and he's given me $100. Those tallied hours are on the slim side too. If I actually kept track how many hours I had in phone calls from him, trying to get set up with different vendors to get parts for this truck, responding to his texts at all hours of the day, and the countless hours researching and looking for info online to make sure this build will get him what he wants, it would probably be 200-250hrs. Or more, who knows. But you guessed it, I haven't heard from him since I got off the phone with him Thursday night.
Back to the more projects.
I found a 1968 C60 4 door chevy truck. I am going to build a 4 door 67-72 at some point and getting this truck will save me a lot of fab time. If things don't work out, then I'll end up building one later. The original coach built 4 door trucks are getting pretty darn hard to find. They are ugly, but I'm going to modify the doors and door openings to make it look better if I get it. We shall see.

Yep. It’s pretty sad.
