P1000 Delton's painfully slow build

[Delton]

I'm off all 4 days next week. May yank it off and go ahead and paint it. Starting next Friday I'll be working 18 days straight, minimum of 12hrs/day. It can dry during that time lol

Total of 219 hours and I'm gonna be tax exempt. Should pay for a few new toys and some metal inventory.

Let's see...........

219 hours X $6.50 per hour = $1423.50.

WOW. You're going to be a rich man!

Dang I keep forgetting you got them skills lol. That looks awesome. Can you lower the a pillars a tad and angle the roof? I still think I went too tall with those pillars. It has an 800 rzr'esque look that I can't stand!!

Tell me about it! It won't be so bad knowing I get 3 day weekends at the end of it all.

Since you're lowering a pillars anyhow, add an exoskeleton slightly above hood line running entire length and ending at front bumper (red of course). And add red Nerf bars in front of rear wheels ending at the front of the steps to climb into rear seats. That should be my final touches. Rebel Yell version 2.0. Only other addition will be rebel flag on roof so call it version 2.1

Will try! Forklift pooped a head gasket and cracked the head. Just about back together with it.

Dont sweat it. Highly doubt I'd ever take it to that level. Just curious what it'd look like.

The good news....my Optima yellow top came in. The bad news....the negative post was bent over. Called Summit about a return. The good news...they are sending me another one. The bad news....on backorder for almost 2 weeks. And finally the BEST news....they told me to keep this one. Post is bent over but is solid as a rock and totally usable. Some days I luck out and today was my day.
