Good news and bad news. Good news is that the 69 Chevy is now completely mine, not the bank’s. I paid of the signature loan last month. YEAH!!!

Bad news is……I need a new lawn mower and a new roof on the house. Lawn mower has been bought and roof goes on in a few weeks. Probably not much work will be done on the old truck this year. But I will try and focus on getting the garage really. With lights, new toolbox and storage areas. Got me down….but it had to be done. Will post progress as it happens. 

Just have to work on paying these items off as soon as I can.

Since this is a blog about restoring a Classic truck. Delays happen. So I will be sharing those as well.  

New Shingles go on the roof tomorrow, if the weather holds out. It has rained here a lot over the past few weeks, and its bad news. I now have a couple of stains inside my house. I am so glad the new shingles are going on tomorrow. Will post pics before and after. I hate this will prevent me from doing much on the old truck. But I hope to get a few things done. 

Roof update: Its done. Crew did a good job. House looks so much different. Here are the before and after: 

Before:

Note: I thought I had caught a UFO….see the pole sticking up in the top pic. Not in the second. I was further back on my driveway and caught a pole in the neighborhood behind me. Darn…..I wanted to be on the news with some bubba teeth in talking about the aliens. 

Front After: 

Back After: 

Now…I need to get new front shutters (black) and a new white door in the carport. I want all the red gone. But, that is later. 

New Shutters ! Put the new shutters on. Looks a lot different than before the work. I am pleased. Also you can see I got the garage cleaned. Need to get that red door replaced sometime. 

Roof is paid off……:)
