Progress is made!

[liljohn]

Well, today was just as gorgeous and just as productive as I hoped it would be! I made MUCHO progress on the restoration job. I got quite a bit of the front of the truck sanded, primered and ready to paint! Still lots o' work, but it sure feels good to be able to take some steps forward every now and then! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_approve.gif" alt="Approve">

Obligatory pics!

To steal a bit from Jeff Foxworthy: If the primary color of your car is primer (and it weighs a couple tons), you just might be a redneck! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_big.gif" alt="Big Smile">

Hopefully I'll have a few more days like this one, and have this thing ready to PAINT soon!

liljohn!

Welcome to the REDNECK support group! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_big.gif" alt="Big Smile">

The first step in the program is admitting that you are a REDNECK! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_approve.gif" alt="Approve"><img src="speech/icon_speech_yes.gif" border="0">

The second step is realizing that you don't give a rats behind what people think! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_wink.gif" alt="Wink">

Remember that REDNECKS have more fun! <img src="speech/icon_speech_oops.gif" border="0"> or was that blondes? <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_reyes.gif" alt="Reyes"><img src="speech/icon_speech_duh.gif" border="0">

I believe rednecks WITH blondes have the MOST fun! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_big.gif" alt="Big Smile">

Yep, I knew that there was a blonde in there somewhere! <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_tongue.gif" alt="Tongue"><img src="speech/icon_speech_yeah.gif" border="0">

Hehehehe. Once I get the deuce painted up purty I might swing her way and try to get some pictures for the upcoming gallery! (right SS? *wink wink nudge nudge*) Good friend of mine from KY. (who would probably kill me for posting that, hehehehehe).

Hehehe. We should get a calender going!

In the Air Force, we call this "Low-vis grey."

Not sure it has the same effect on the ground, though... <img src="emoticons/icon_smile_approve.gif" alt="Approve"> Maybe in San Fransisco, it should blend in with fog really nicely!

Anywho, I've gotten everything up to the windshield ready to go, and a lot of stuff behind the windshield. I'm moving right along!
