So any and all tips help

Nothing to the truck but cleaned shop up , found this " glow in the dark paint and it's pretty cool(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/08/20/2443d4c9e7d07dc491c4bdff28ca37f7.jpg)

Mr.bake74 what projects and builds do you have?

Right now I am building my 74 K-10 step side that the frame has been powder coated, Axles have been gone through. Need to start putting on fuel/brake lines, fuel tanks, mock engine to hang trans/transfer case & get drive lines so I can move on to the cab.
I have been putting most of my attention lately into my 2010 Dodge Charger with Mod's & Dyno's to see what I can get out of her.

That's awsome I've never been a 4x4 guy but fast I've always loved , my step grandpa has a crap Toyota car from 90 ' s I'm waiting for motor to blow to make a sleeper out of it , personally I love a good race I wish in mobile they had a place we're people could race and not risk losing license , but I guess that's half the fun , not getting caught I mean
-
Yea, I like fast bikes, probably too much. For now my Charger takes care of my needs. I have always wanted a old step side 4x4, this is going to be more of a street queen then a mudder. I have been in 4wd most of my life, I used to build rock crawler jeeps for years, have moved on from that now.

Yeah may dad use to say if u have something you love don't make it your job cause u will then love to hate it ,

I don't understand, are you stuck on something, or just short on cash right now ?
-
No it just snaps , I go at a slow rpm and then it get in a bind I stop and after a few it snaps , I won't go to fast and just shear the teeth , the hole I have to drill is at a angle how ever , I figured that it's just cheap holesaw , I've maybe drilled 3mm in 4 hrs and I'm always short on cash but that's the beauty of a true done right budget build , I'd rather take time and go slow than slap crap and fix it ever 15 min
-
All wiring and metal lines removed , mostly anyway stupid cab mounts
-
Well I'm leaving for a while I got a job traveling around the US and don't know when I will be back I'm a miss working on the truck also cab is off and I've cleans up the frame , I'm a miss it
-
Make sure you store it properly so you don't come back and find a big rust pile.

She is covered I had just painted the frame
