So tonight I'm moving the peice of rod into the garage after a long search. I've strapped as much as I could to the bed, and the rest will go into kyle's truck. My brother and his buddy huey are going to help with the transportation of the truck. huey has a kickass truck and trailer setup that he's bringing so that'll help a lot. It's a lot to move but we can do it. With melissa directing us on her stacking power via long days of tetris, we'll get it done.

So I'll put up pics as soon as I can and update the status ont he old beast. I'm heading to vegas this saturday. S0 maybe I'll get to see some cool rides out there.

Anyway...

We looked at the garage across town with a leaky roof. But it's better than nothing. I handed in the rental agreement today and we should be moving stuff in by next week. Kyle is replacing some boards for the floors, but other than that I'm super excited to finally move. Updates too come.

Update: It's 11/06/06 and well so far no garage, the rent on the storage bin is going up, still haven't been able to work on it much due to it being in a storage facility and not in a garage. I know, I know pitty da fool who bought a Giant Money squeezer. Oh well I'll figure something out.

So I have decided to unchannel this rod. Making it easier to run exhaust, steering, and wiring of all sorts. Not too mention that since it's setting on a dakota frame, the frame rails run straight through the middle of the floors, causing a rift in the plan of the floors. So I have some floor braces and will put them in whenever I get more room to do so.

I did get a bed, as you see in the pic below. Another + to the raising, is the option of having more bed usage. I know what your thinking, "But Troy it's a friggin ratrod" I know it's a ratrod/hotrod but it's mine and my ideas are flying like pigs in shit. But alas much like my bulldog puppy they are far far away from me.

The bed I got was a little rusty but it has good sides and will need cut down, so I can't wait to get to that. I got a nice 30" metal bender/brake, and a new metal shear. The last pair failed me and left me with no option but to return it. So that's done.

Well I'm out for the day
