Thanks guys. Especially you Matt. I hope that 80 degrees is accompanied by rain
It was actually pretty nice out yesterday. Mid 50's. Perfect weather for working outside. I can recall several days lately with a high of 40. Not quite so fun.
I did put a bolt on windshield frame (removable) on the racer. This truck will have windshield wipers and all that. I don't plan on taking the windshield frame off ever, but do plan to bolt it on using a stainless hinge. That way it won't need to be painted and have the paint chip off over time.
WHOA- it let me upload the pics. Here are some pics of the windshield frame removal. The pic of the twisted up metal is the old windshild frame after removal. Using the prybar bends it all up. No worries, it is scrap. The one picture has a 'spy shot' of the new tire/wheel combo. 315 BFG KM 2's on 16" DC 1's. Found them used of course. They are still about new but I did have to buy an adapter. Aparently the 97 and newer F150 pattern is now metric.
