I have not been working on the project truck for quite a while. I needed the room in the shop to build an 8x12 skid-able deck for a greenhouse. I bought a little 6x10 green house off amazon for my mom and the weather was too bad to put it together outside so I built the deck and then built the green house on it and then dragged them outside and over to my folks place and set it into place with a tractor. Then last couple of weeks I've been able to get in the fields planting clover and spraying corn ground and now I'm working on my planter installing new seed boxes on it. The guy that has the bed I spoke for still hasn't gotten it off the donor truck so I don't have those parts on hand yet. I still have a crap load of work to do to the cab as well. Otherwise it's just sitting there waiting for some attention. When I get back to work on it, I'll pull the glass out of the cab and pull the cab off. It needs new weather seals around all the glass anyway and it'll be easier to paint with the glass out. I've got to rebuild two of the cab mounts and sandblast the frame and axles/suspension while the cab is off. So that's one of those things that once started, can't really be stopped until it's done and right now the truck starts and runs so I can still move it around when I need the shop. I really need another shop but that's not happening anytime soon. So the truck project is probably going to have to wait until late fall to be continued. Now that we're in spring, things are starting to roll around the ranch and it's going to be the busiest year yet with cattle coming in late May, more ponds to build, fences to build, crops, food plots, new road screens to protect deer in the fields from poachers and a list of years worth of other farm improvement projects on the docket. I have another field event coming up in early May. Going to spend three days at Greg Judy's grazing school up near Columbia MO and I need to have my corn in and going by then. Here's a pic of the greenhouse finished with grow lights on at night:
Haha, yep...that's the way it goes. I knew going into it I wouldn't have time to get it started and finished all in one go. That's okay, it'll get there eventually if I live long enough.
This was one of my favorite random threads... looking to revive this old thread for a couple reasons...one of which is I am still restoring my old jon boat; made a pretty big dent in it these past couple weeks and legit look to be finished in 2 weeks. Secondarily; I was wondering whatever happened to the restomod. I ran across this article originally on foxnews.com but clicked the link from the original source and found this https://www.fourwheeler.com/news/gateway-bronco-restomod-1969-ford-f250/ I think I have found my retirement gig...
