Walked in the shop this morning and Jake was doing something under the rearend. I'm not sure he wasn't taking a nap cause he wasn't moving. I did see where he had installed the wood floor. Progress being made.
I'm on the other side of the coin - polish them aluminum wheels up and put em on!
Herded one of them beasts for a lot of years before I got a cushy day job, love nice polished wheels.
Thank you!
24.5s are supposed to be polished ALUMINUM!
Yall must buy a lot more expensive tires than I do, to wrap all that pretty paint around'em....makes me nervous just lookin at'em.
How may pages of candyapple this, metal flake silver that, and flat black, the other thing.......am I gonna have to drool over before we get some brand spankin new Caterpillar yella????

We get about 325 to 350,000 out of a set, they are pretty nice.
And here ya go on some Cat yellow, engine is on the stand and ready for paint.
And here's a couple more just plain Cats if you need more yellow!
These boyz are thinking way out the box on this project, sometimes I worry they thinking too far out there. I walked out yesterday and Jake is sitting there with the headliners laying on a table and a round light installed in the old rectangle light fixture hole. And then there is a broken Zildjian cymbal laying on the table beside it.
The wheels are turning as Jake walks off and returns with a precision measuring tool. He starts measuring and making marks on the cymbal, looks up at me and says he's fixin to make a custom cover ring for the light assembly.
Side note:
They must not make cymbals like they used to, I've beaten and dropped a 50 year old set so many times they should have been destroyed.
