      Let's do it again this weekend.. i'm ready.

          Thanks for the pictures Tom.

          Did WHS realize there was going to be a dirt road involved? I don't see the carpet that was supposed to be put out...

            I couldn't find any red carpet in time.. If you look in those pics, right behind the door on the ground, you can see where his truck pee'd a little like a little girlie. I think it was scared being in that neighborhood with the bad boy Cherokees. I meant to tease him of that while he was there but got sidetracked.

                      Tom..... I'm going to be hard charging it this weekend. I need to get the front axle, engine, and front clip installed. I can finish up the small stuff one piece at t time.

                      To all of the members that came and helped me last weekend, there is no way I can express my thanks other than a huge THANKS! If you had'nt shown, I wouldn't have RDBLOK back on the road until next summer. I think I can make it happen now because of your efforts!

                        I'll drag my 3 ton jack and transmission jack along as well again.
                        No time to cook a pot of chicken so maybe I can bring my empty crock pot and just do it there, depending on how many think they might be there. If it is just a few then we can grill the food there. I can drag along a tank of propane if you think you need it. I always keep 2 or 3 tanks here at the house. . You need to make another pot of that stew. I have some pork chops and a couple of steaks to drag along also.

                        I plan on being there by noon or so Friday and staying all weekend again..

                        I will probably leave an hour or so before dark this time to make sure I get back home instead of further away. Once I get back to AA Highway I'll be fine. KY backroads are insane, reminds me of PA and WV. Nothing just heads to where you think it is suppose to.

                          Would you rather have stew, or a pot of Rhonda's chili? I have plenty of propane, so there is no need to bring any.

                          I'm out ripping steering/firewall stuff right now in preparation for a coat of undercoating, and maybe some grey paint if I get around to it. We'll see what develops.

                              Kim, I know you like the flat black, rat rod look, but I kinda really liked that White color that new rig is wearing.
