It runs, it drives, and today it got a coat of primer. Tonight it's getting paint, if I can stay away from the Sleemans. ;D It's after 1 am, only a couple more coats to go. I'll have to get it dirty right away, my paint skills are at the grade 1 level. Before primer, I lost count of all the previous colors...at least 5.

Finished painting 3 am this morning, going back together tonight, some interior stuff, flares, etc. It's definetly a 50 footer, so scratches are a necessity. I wanted silver, but people suggested I stay away from metallics doing it myself, so grey it is. I wanted this project to be one I did by myself, except for a few things I didn't have tools for.

Goatse, you're killin me!!! The whole time I was painting I was thinking, this doesn't look a whole lot different than when Chris had it. It's GM Dove Grey, not Khaki!!!!! I'll park beside you at the Jam so you can see the difference. LOL

Got one in pieces, just can't find my glue bottle. ;D Spent all night helping a guy make my exhaust. Chevy transfer cases are big, not much room to spare. He is an artist though, pretty much just tail pipes left. He pointed out a few more things for me to change, gonna shake the money tree tomorrow. She's coming inspected or not. I might have to drive the ditch all the way to the valley.
