roll cage

Well, it's been exactly one year since the start of this project, and it's yet another Cinco de Mayo spent alone with my truck...


... lame huh.

Anyway, it has been a year. A project that was supposed to take only 24 days (later extended to like 31) has take 366... thus far. Now granted the truck was driving for about six months in the middle of this it has still taken way to long. So what have I learned through all of this? Well a few things. First is don't set timelines. Deadlines are great, but they need to be flexable since you can't ever plan things out to the day when fabricating. Second, things hardly ever work right the first time. Thrid, don't count on anybody but yourself. No matter what anybody says always assume that they arn't going to be there for you, you're on your own. Period. And lastly, whatever your budget is, double it. I have learned so much in the last  year, about fabrication, about my truck, about myself, about life. I have become one with the truck.

Alright, well that is enough of that.

Over the weekend I got alot more done on the roll cage. It's actually starting to look more like a roll cage than a jungle gym. Keep checking back for more updates.
