Thanks guys, but squattie has been around for over 10 years and it feels like it will never get done, I try to get at least a little done on it every day now, I cant wait till its done so I can get the racetruck back in the garage and that will be my main focus and the 42 COE car hauler will get worked on in the side yard, cant wait

then the 47 panal truck gets mounted on the 93 dakota chassis as the next for sale car.

I am going to try to get back to 1 for sale 2 to keep,1 for sale 2 to keep. and hopefully in about 3 years I will have a nice collection of toys Ron....

with MATS and other things going on around here I still dont have the rear fenders and bed painted
but 1 rear fender IS fully mounted and I hope to get the other one finished up today and then I figure I have about 1-2 days of body work to have them ready for paint so maybe by this weekend they will be done . then I need to get the windows made and installed, get it registered and then take for some shake down runs Ron....

took a lot longer than I planed BUT:

today I finished up the paint on the bed and rear fenders for my Squattie truck.
so all the paint is now on the truck,all that needs paint is the glove box door(I'll paint that later)
so tomorrow I will finish up behind the cab and put the bed on for the last time
and I picked up the glue and trim for the windshield this week so the windshield should be in this weekend too.
with a little luck I should have it on the road sometime next week Ron....

Yes, the rear fenders are fiberglass model "A" fenders.

I finished inside the bed, back of the cab and the front of the bed with gravitex this morning













got a little more done tonight after it cooled down some.
I painted the bed cover framework with POR15 and test fitted the windshield Ron....
