1968....

[LC619FR]

Well I've been slammed with work home projects and the like, 5 days working anywhere between 12-24 hour tours then home for a night and back at it, have really put a damper on the ol Kaiser project. I finally gave up on trying to find the water pump. The lack of voltage to the rig is being caused by a bad voltage regulator (hopefully). I did however find time these past couple days to get Elizabeth down to Jeff to get some paint on her. I have to give Jeff mad props as well as Phil the guy who shot the paint on the Jeep. They both did an exceptional job and gave me more dedication to the project then I at times was willing to give. :bow: This little endevour started thursday when I got home from work (after 3 hours of sleep) took a nap and started putting the truck back together to make the 30 mile trip to Woodstock. I'll say that's probably the most nerve racking drive I've had in a long time, between the constant worry of overheating (she never did) and never having driven this truck that distance. And I drive this...

Anyways thursday was a short night, I hadn't seen my wife since the previous Sunday and she was leaving town Friday morning, all we managed to do was come up with a game plan take some of the stripes off (which was a pain in our dick up until the very end) and took off all the trim. Friday night, however was very productive...We finished taking off the stripes then started the long process of sanding and removing the glue from the Scotch Light. It was apparent by 10 that the truck wasn't going to be painted in the morning though so we stopped at 10 to grab a beer and bullshit.
