Waiting for winter to finish

February 14, 2010 by tom.

I’ve been waiting patiently, or maybe impatiently for winter to finish so I can work on the truck again. I am going to buy some metal tubing for fixing the bottom of the cab and the cab mount. I also ordered some POR 15 to try. I’ve also bought a farm jack to jack up the cab so I can remove the piece of metal that was riveted across the bottom. Lord knows how much rust is under that part of the cab. I plan to replace it with polished aluminum diamond plate after I fix the cab mount. I’ve also been sketching some paint scheme ideas and when I have a few that I want to post, you’ll see them here. On the other artistic front, I’m finishing up the portrait commission and am looking forward to creating some paintings relating to trucks. I’ve had cabin fever and was actually outside today. Then again, it’s Maine and Spring won’t be here until April. I have to be careful not to get the truck stuck during mud season. Anyway, figured I’d give an update on my truck and art. Until next time, see ya. Tom
