HAHA I wish I drove that one thru the drive thru.... It does run! However it acts up when the battery is lower I think they may have been the root of my problem with shifting and getting it to start.. I just dont get it cause it would crank forever before the battery would completely due.. Who knows

I sent out your package today - usps and got a delivery conformation for you out in the car..

Got some more done - doors are welded into place. welded tube to the top of each door and then braced it across. Now I just need to weld in two angled pieces to finish off where the window used to be. It's going to be angled toward the front and center of the truck.. It's going to be tricky to get it just right. Since I still have a **** ton of this 1x1 left over even after doing that I am going to probably brace it to the floor and then between the two cross members that are in place now.

The worst part was trying to weld the tube to the top of the door since the skin is aluminum but the inner part I believe is steel. If it isnt oh well cause it's all going to be sheet metaled and riveted together later on.. But also filling the gap between door and door frame especially towards the top..





hopefully it doesnt rain this weekend and I can get a lot more done. It was hot today under all those clothes..
