Did a little re-moulding today. Only did one strip on the passenger side of the cab, turned out pretty good. Just used some double sided tape, piece o' cake.

Sorry for crappy cell pic:

Got done "re-moulding" the Skidder. Damn, I must say, it looks a lot better IMO. Also painted the lower half of the box, I actually happened to have a can of paint in the exact colour I needed that I believe I bought for a Grand Prix. Anyways the colour match isn't perfect as the other stuff is kinda faded, but whatever.

Decided to take a little drive downriver and snap some pics, as usually I just take them in the driveway, which is getting boring.

Took about $20 worth of double sided tape

Starting to resemble a complete truck rather then a bitza truck like before lol

Thanks C2. I'm almost starting to like it as much as my old truck. Almost.

Thanks a lot man, I appreciate the encouragement. Sometimes I get out and am depressed at how junked certain parts of it are, but if I compare it to these pics, I don't feel as bad:

Haha, bitza truck...lol.

The bodywork is getting done, slowly. Still need to get my rockers done on a good weekend day, and at the very least the box needs a coat of paint. It's actually not in bad shape, just doesn't match (the PO used whatever he had lying around I guess, way off on the colour). I patched up the box side as you can see and shot it up with some blue I had kicking around from my Jeep. But it's solid.

Also got to put a passenger door on when I get around to it. I have a matching one, just need the ambition to swap it. Already did the driver's side.

i've always liked the 2 tone K2500's with the fender flares matching i think they look classy.

If i could find a 8 lug ECSB in the red/gold with tan interior... life is made.

Well it's intake gasket time. Burning coolant like a f***er, all in through the oil.

Going to take at it tonight, but I don't plan on working too late into the night, I need to get up early for work.
