Hi Jimmy,
Well, Mr Murphey seems to have been waiting in the shadows on this whole truck deal. I took a summer class to have skilled instructors guide me at touching up the body repairs needed on Apollo...only to find diasters under the repainted flanks of said truck.
I took no photos of the work as I now realize...but had decided to repaint the whole beast. that is until I ran out of time in class today. Yep, class is over, truck is primered (at least its white to match...) and no more can be done for a year until I clear the next set of schooling I do.
I need to get some updates and photos here but ain't managed it yet. I am not lazy, I am buried!

In OTHER News...
Hi Jimmy,
My Girl, Ajay, as she's known to her friends....is a fencer. As of late she and my buddy Eric were asked to take part in an Art Exhibit. It was way cool, and here is a link to explain it all..

It's That July Fourth Deal...
Hi Jimmy,
Its been quite a week pounding away on Apollo. I have finally, only moments ago, managed to put the interior from Cracker into Apollo. Its taken days to get it all to fit right. Apollo seems to have had every possible screw/ nut/ bolt stripped or replaced with the wrong one over time....
I found that somebody in the past had put fancy tar/ foil insulation in Apollo, so it saved me that effort. However, the factory roof insulation was sadly lacking. In fact, when I pulled down the headliner I found the insulation had been reversed and stuck to the liner instead of the roof! I pulled it off, and between what I had from Cracker and itself I now have the entire roof, front to back, insulated like it MEANS it.
I need to find three larger self tapping screws to make the center console solid as it should be and all is done. It sure rides better with good seats in it too. Gas prices be damned...Apollo is rolling...! I'll add photos to der blogenstein later.
Congrats to NASA for getting Shuttle in the sky once again!
