well havent really done a damn thing other than drive it up/down the driveway because i blew up a driveshaft in the DD so ive been fixing it and it need headgaskets now too
but last night i put on the full doors (reason why in a min) and fixed the heater blower no-go problem (its now got a 57 chevy blower motor) went through the truck and did up a couple odds and ends
will probly drop the bed back on the truck tonight too so itll be driveable for a few days before gettin tube/hi-steer put on it
and then i should be gettin plates today or tomarrow depending on what the dmv wants me to jump through
