well mainly just weekends, the entire weekend, last weekend, I started at 7am and worked until 9pm with only about 20 minutes for lunch and 20 min for dinner, sunday worked from about 10am to 6pm. some weeknights I go over and do small things- but mainly just multi-tasking the work-
Prep and paint in one area- then go back to the main work area while the paint sets up and work away on other stuff- in the case of the cab- while the cab paint was setting up I worked on the trans, the front fenders, etc.
When the cab was ready for glass work I rust treated the fenders, or primed and painted something. While the truck is jacked up for me to check wheel bearings and spindles I can also climb underneath to work- so just covering multiple bases at a time. I tried to track everything on a spreadsheet but it is just easier for me to remember the stuff. Pics our coming I promise- Just busy with work at the same time(meaning I think about work and forget to put the camera in the car.
The bed is currently off to the side and I am leaving it alone now- I will put it on sawhorses to do all the work(sandblast, prime paint, new wood, etc) and I will run the wiring in the chassis first, then set the completed bed on the truck and bolt it down.
I'm just fanatic about working on the truck(Working in the barn is my version of going to church) so I just get in the mood and start working, sometimes the radio is on, sometime I just listen to the sound of the work.
Other than driving it alot, I do not know what I will do next. I was thinking about a similar year Sedan, but put a modern 5 speed trans and rear end to make highway speeds do-able, and probably modern brakes- Make a daily driver(modern speeds) maybe make it a 12 volt with aftermarket air conditioning so I can use it for work, Probably move up to a small block v8, but keep it quiet on the exhaust side so that it looks original from the outside, but with some modern components inside.
PICS are coming.
