Hey Guys...

Happy Memorial Day and thank you to those of you who served to keep us safe!

Been doing a little 120 dry long block sanding on the bed....feels good to accomplish something and guide coat sanding always feels so rewarding to me.

When done here, I have to build a battery box, weld up some tabs and I think I will tear it down and shoot the frame.

Have a great weekend!

Still sanding & touching up lil spots with some 2k icing...

Beds very close to getting the final coat of sealer primer.

Also touching up some filler pin holes on the cab.

Another week or so I'll be back on the frame.

Going to pick up 2 engine stands to use as a rotiserie.

I know.....I'm moving slow but at least I am moving

I may have mentioned the fact that I've been in the ****ter cause my Dakota has been in storage since I started this project....I have a small 24 x 24 shop and no room for everything.

I picked up a 13 x 20 canopy to keep the Dakota under for summer, at least I can see her and take her for a short spin couple times a week. I feel better just seeing her here.

I'm topping off the battery's and installing a seperate quick disconnect plug on each so charge them seperatly.... the last battery in the loop never gets a full charge. I'm also going to get a 4 bank tender.

I learned something I didn't already know yesterday. This new fancy charger I have by Schumacher has a tester built in that tells you what the % of charge is.
I always figured if the voltage showed 12.5 volts you were at top notch. Well last week although I was at 12.7 volts, the percentage of charge was only 12%. I called Schumacher and they confirmed. There's a boost charging function to use and in about 6 hours I came up to 100%. The thing also has a desulferzation mode. Good to keep learning stuff.

Hope you guys are all doing well, healthy and having fun.

Nice party tent!
Good to get another vehicle ready to drive when you get the urge, it keeps you on the level and keeps it from gathering dust....

Looks like you got a high quality tent there. Your Dakota is a one of a kind beauty.
