Here it is going on the rollback to head to Cover's Chevrolet (sorry, but he's an old friend and does really good paint work) in Windber, PA for painting:
Off it goes:
We had to wait almost 3 weeks from the time it was ready to go, until we were finally able to send it, because the relentless winter weather wouldn't allow the salt/slush to clear from the roads.
Our little secondary road doesn't get salt so the snow doesn't go away until about May..
While it's at the paint shop getting prepped, Joel's getting ready to start on the bed:
It's hard to tell from the pic, and I don't have any good close-ups, but it needs some work. There are a limited number of replacement panels for shortbeds, so Joel has had to make some pieces. The piece on top in the following pic is the old one, at the bottom is Joel's work. He's pretty good:
At some point, hopefully soon, we'll be ready to put this baby in there:
I don't know why, but PB refuses to allow me to rotate the pic 90 degrees. I've rotated/saved it in Paint and uploaded it that way about a dozen times, but PB shows it sideways..
I'm still hoping against hope to have it ready for Great Niece #1's Senior Prom like I told her....
