But damn its hot out here in Texas! Taking a little break. Didnt get much done last night so few of us went to hooters. Lets just say it was painful walking out to the car to go get the welding and torch bottles filled. I think I layed on the garage floor from 1230-2pm lol. Just couldnt get motivated.. Damn Beer.

Re: Redds TURD!

Thanks man...

Also Thanks for jmew, Extreme24 for bringing over the torch, and others for stoping by over the weekend.

Didnt get much done but was still fun.


Best part of the weekend, a house up the street the Electric metter on the back of the house blew up. So loud it sounded like a huge pipe bomb. All the neighbors came out and looked down at my house, lol.

Re: Redds TURD!

You may say it look's crappy or like a polished turd but it has been used as my background on myspace a few times all ready! That and when you get pro pictures done it's easy to hide things!

I'd strongly suggest just cutting the floor pans out all together where the seat bolts down, and just make that whole area of the floor level. I'm 6' and have about 4-5" of head room in my trad. bodydropped regular cab. It's so roomy and comfortable now. I have pics of how I did it on mine, if you want to see 'em.
