Skylark's dually

[termite]

I'm looking forward to seeing the progress on this build. Are you planning to combine the "Hypothetical " build with Pearl's?

Once tear down begins on the HD I'll be posting progress on this thread.

I haven't been on here much lately and this is why.

We haven't started tearing down the HD yet but some major preparations have been made. The F450 is mostly parted out. We've made back everything that we spent shy of about $400 by parting out what we didn't need. Considering that we have $3k plus worth of parts sitting here for $400, we won't complain.

The garage was absolutely packed after I left my job as the manager of a tire and auto shop. Awesome decision! I moved a fair amount into an unused shed at my dad's house so I'm ready to get the garage turned into a "paint booth" for Pearl's cab, fenders and hood. I'll paint the HD's grill filler and possibly the grill to at a later date.

Speaking dates.... August 12-20 are the dates that I have scheduled for vacation so I can paint. All of the body work needs to be done by then. I want to paint while the weather is warm and dry so even though the chassis isn't ready I want to move forward.

I also purchased a 4x8 farcebook special trailer to use as a dolly to move Pearl's cab from our gantry crane to the garage.

We moved just about every one of our vehicles on the property in the process of stripping a 91 K3500 flatbed and the F450.

These 2 pictures are going to be the last of Pearl in her original form.

Those tires are brand new too. The stickers are kinda sorta still on them.

And here I was wondering if more progress was being made.

Progress was so slow because of me being stretched so thin. I had to get everything else done so I could finally do my own thing.

Everyone has been officially told "it isn't happening".

You're a brave man, I wouldn't have the heart to rip apart a beautiful truck like Pearl. But with her storied history I'm sure there's some malice there that gets a kick out of it?
At least it'll be going back together bigger and better.
