Well its Labor day and the end of Summer. Couple of things have happened. Some stuff in my home was taken out by lightning. So I am having to get those replaced. Main thing is my refrigerator. Insurance is going to cover all of it, but will take some time. Plus, I had some wind damage to my garage roof, just shingles blown off so new shingles will be going on. But I have to cover my deductible.

But, for the real bad news. I have to get my Dakota painted and the school can’t do it. So….I will have to pay for it fully. No way I can get the old truck ready by then..due to cost and all. So, the work on the old truck will slow. Right now I can’t move it in the garage, but I am going to try and finish it up with the parts I already have. Which should get it moving again.

Its a setback, but now that I know and I can plan. Will update and hopefully will be showing you my brand new painted Dakota later on. Who knows I might be able to start tear down of the old truck next year and then some big stuff will get done.

Update….due to the craziness in the world right now, painting of the Dakota is on hold. I am saving for it, not there yet. Life gets in the way. I hope to get it painted sometime this year. Fall at the latest. I am trudging along with some things on the old truck.
