Had a slight fitment rub between the front fender and the front right door when it opened so I had to remove the fender and make a minor adjustment to the door hardware and now it just clears. I believe this is quite common on these rigs; that this one area is a very tight fit. But hey, for the many lego pieces that are becoming one truck, it's coming together quite nicely I must say.
I have someone tentatively booked to come paint next Saturday so I have this week to fit everything tight and do any minor body work and sanding to get 'er ready to become one color :-)
Paul, I've been following your relationship with this vehicle as it has moved from wonderment to questioning to analyzing to placating to rebuilding and coming up to glorification. I am so impressed by your dedication. Can't wait to see this sweetheart next month!! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sherri! It has indeed been a time consumer (mental, emotional, physical, and financial too!), but in the end it will be a solid truck for (hopefully) another 30 years (but realistically probably only 10yrs and then something major will probably be needed like a radiator) ;-)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing you guys and just being with family and friends without any other commitments pressing for my time.
