Is the truck getting repainted medium blue?
I'm in no hurry for a repaint. Want to get it buttoned up first. Then we'll see.

Nice J.Dot. I see you are sticking the tongue out with the intensity of Michael Jordan!

i find myself doing the same thing whenever i do two things at a time, like drive AND stick the hand out of the window, or walk and chew gum, or type and try to be funny at the same time :P

Looks great John!
Good talking to you up in Mass, sorry couldn't find ya when I was ready to roll out of Stan's. Seeing that pic of your dash reminded me of the story where you sucked in a paper towel into the fan housing. Looks like you have a cylinder head temp gauge? Did you install that, if so let me know if you have any other info on it. I'm considering the same on my rustbucket single.

No more paper towels after this work is done!
The gauges all were installed back in its racing days, just an aftermarket temp gauge on the oil press. fitting. It would be nice to have a head temp gauge too, but alas, not there...

Got to see Josh's progress on the Baja.

The long rocker gets some love:

Finally filled up the big hole in the truck bed:

That's it for now.
More to come next week.

John awesome job freshening her up. I've always loved this truck, great history attached. I know you'll do her justice.
