mowerman Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 Thanks Paul yes, it’s a nice feeling to start finally on it as I mentioned I’ve had it almost 30 years it’s mainly just been sitting around waiting for attention. I started it and moved it around. Quite a bit through the years to keep everything going about it even had it stored in two different locations through the years when I didn’t have a place to put it it doesn’t even seem like I’ve had it anywhere near that long bought it around November 1994 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/22/#findComment-544460 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted January 6 Author Share Posted January 6 Yes, in my case, I didn’t know it was gonna be anywhere near that long before I got a start on it.

mowerman Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 Got a lot done today right now I’m mainly taking off all the broken, fiberglass and old Bondi from previous repairs as I mentioned the more I dig the worst. It looks right now progress baby real tedious, and time-consuming right now but yes I will. On my way. I’ll send pictures later. I figured out. I can’t do it on my phone. I have to leave on the computer. I don’t know what’s up with that but yes, it looks worse now than the last photos ha ha. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/22/#findComment-545709 Share on other sites More sharing options...
