Re: Project dime bag

Coming along nicely man! I need a two car garage to work in. ha ha My single garage is cluttered with shnit all over the place. But then again I'm still at home with the folks. So technically, it's not ''my'' garage. Blah, I really need to move out and get my own garage. Back to the subject, keep it coming man!

Re: My 00' dime build up

more progress pics. unfortunately i may have to put this on hold for a little while. ive been having some major shoulder issues. after 4 years i finally went to the docs today and as of right now its lookin like surgery is gonna have to fix the problem. so that really blows. but im gonna try to keep workin on this pile until then.

Re: My 00' dime build up

I know i havent had too many updates lately, and it looks like there wont be very many in the future. i have a scheduled surgery on my shoulder in two weeks. and i will be out of commission for 2 months following that. so unfortunaltely i have to put my truck on hold for a while. im gonna try and get as much done as i physically can until then. i will still have the truck at carlisle for sure and probably the ///RA All Star show. im gonna try my hardest to get the frame painted before then. ill keep everyone updated.

Later
