Truck has been sitting while I tinker with prep for koh. So here’s a share from Milestar and hope everyone has a wonderful new years.

 

Countdown to KOH. Luckily the chase truck has a relatively clean bill of health. Gonna replace a few heims and bolts and rack bushings and she’ll be good to go.

 

I knew I was dreading this project for a reason. Start the clock on 100 plus hours to get this looking good again.



But look how good this color is when it’s fresh.


Man the film has faded over the years

 

Making progress. Cab almost done. Started on fenders so I can get enough strips for the abc pillars. Also decided to try my skills and wrap the mirrors. Not too bad




Also tempted on these. Gonna see what sort of memorial day sales and what not come up and probably make an order.

 

Looking fresh!

 

Wonder if PRP seats will sit lower then than OEM seats... Always hated looking out the top 1/3 of the wind screen.

 

Yeah I’m tall and need to lower the seats for cage clearance. So I’ll get them lower than stock for sure and then get the wife a booster seat lol

 

Only thing left is the roof. Also gonna ppf the leading face of these before mounting. Learned from last time.



Also sad but good news. No racings seats for now. At least not yet. Took a new job with a slight pay cut but room for growth. Maybe next year lol

 

Ryan,
Sorry been out of the loop as I got banned for something I didn’t do and boy was that a mess!
Did you go the way you were looking to go with your schooling?
Oh, how’s your parents house coming? Is it finished yet? They were super nice to this stranger!
Also you still doing side work / welding?
I’m having an aluminum 5.3 L33 LS swap done to the 07 5 lug you welded rear notches in & the rear sway bar brackets to the diff. I’m terrible w/ wiring and can’t weld for crap so I’m paying for the labor. I also purchased the same model for a daily and want to do the same suspension mods. Are you available sometime in Aug, Sept or Oct?

Thanks,
Randy

 

Hey Randy. Sorry for the ban. Is what it is sometimes. It’s the internet so take you punishment and move on lol.

New job is at a manufacturing plan and on the road towards engineering. So it’s a start and a foot in the door. Really liking the company so far and there’s lots of potential. Just not a fan of being on second shift but that’s what was available for now so I’ll pay my dues and show that it would be worth while to have me on 1st shift and promoted into an engineering position.

Parents house is done. Well 99.9% done. Failed the inspection because of one minor electrical or plumbing thing I can’t remember which one. But they were granted temporary occupancy and the builder has 180 days to have the issue fixed. That happened back in may and they’ve got all their stuff over there and living in the house.

And yep still doing side work. August is probably going to be busy as well as the second half of October. But yeah we can knock out the other frame notching kit for you sometime in September or early October probably.

 

I will send you a DM / PM and I still have your number! Get Mustang off the ground so little four legged critters won’t be getting in to make it a home? Well not so easily… The little bastards can get anywhere…

 

Haha sounds good. Haven’t touched the mustang yet. But now with the parents out I do have room in the storage shed for things. So I might start taking things apart this fall. Maybe.

 

Did a thing. Time to road trip to Colorado and pick them up.

 

What about seeing if you can locate someone for the Taco Express?
