John has a theory: put a little red lipstick and some fancy shoes on a girl and she's bound to turn a few heads! We've made some major changes recently on the truck...our "a little here, a little there" has really started to add up. We haven't posted as often, since we had to send some of our work out to the experts...
For example, the seat has been transformed from the happy spider hunting grounds and former rat motel into a thing of beauty. With all new canvas, burlap, foam, 4 springs repaired (those rats must have been frisky), a new mounting bracket, and lots of red faux ostrich leather, this baby may be the prettiest thing in or on the truck...
...With the exception of these little beauties. Here, John pampers his newly mounted white walls with a bubble bath. Actually, he was scrubbing off the blue protective covering from the white walls. I don't think the rims were back from the powder coaters for 5 minutes before he took them to have the tires mounted. And don't EVEN ask how long they were home from the tire shop before we were out jacking up the truck to put them on...
While we waited for the big pieces to get worked on, we did some detail work on the dash. John completely disassembled and cleaned the radio, then went to work with the red paint to add some pizazz. There's still some work to do, but it's coming along. This picture and the next one give an impression of a sleazy night club...the "Stutius" license plate in the background doubles as a neon sign! For those who think it looks a little too much like a sleazy night club, please consider where Tracy and John met....we're going for nostalgia, here!
