    Well, looks like we have a party now, i was starting to feel left out!

    Well it appears that the general vote is more bracing, so it will be done!! I was most likely going to add more anyway, i was a little nervous about it anyways!

    Dave, if i lived closer, we would have already started the sawzalls up, but i think im going to take it easy on this one, ill be ready to chop the next project up as soon as i start driving this one!

    Falconvan, i have no idea what im gonna do for interior yet, ive been tossing around the idea of using removable seats from a minivan, so i can load up the family, but still use it for hauling stuff too.

    I did not get any work done this weekend, but i did go get the thing from down south yesterday, then me and the misses went out for some adult beverages last night, so today i was completely worthless!! Man i tell you , five years ago i could drink a small army under the table, but now it sure does seem to hurt more the next day!!But it sure is fun hanging with 15 drunk nurses!!!

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Just for fun, here's a couple of panel truck pics to keep you going. There's a couple chopped and even one with a mural. I think the first two pics are the same truck though.




    I may not be good but I sure am slow
