Thanks for the well wishes everyone from the other forums too. It has been an exciting week! My little boy arrived safe and sound. 8lb 6oz! 20.5". Mom is doing well and we are adjusting and settling into family life quite smoothly.
Back to school has started and it's busy. I have 31 rascals this year in grade 4! Last year my grade 2 class pushed me hard to get the truck painted. We set goals together and unfortunately I was unable to complete the paint by the end of June. Despite being 2 months late I created a link and sent it to their new grade 3 teacher and asked her to share it with them. It was nice to have them come and visit with me about it! "You did it Mr. J!" "I like the black paint!" "Will you bring it to school?"
-This year's goal: drive it to school before the end of the year.
Well it's been super busy, but I still managed to find some time to do some wrenching...but I had some help 😉.
Floor mats are complete. I made them in 3 pieces and have them overlapping. They just need a wash and a final clip down. I am very happy with how they turned out. I can easily get access to the battery, master cylinder and transmission if need be.
I also installed a few more pieces on the clip. Inner braces, light terminals, front pan supports. Installed the hood latch piece into the hood.
