Captainkirk's Duster project

I have thought of giving up on the restoration and just selling it but so MUCH time and money and just one more year of long hours in the garage and all the sanding primer painting electrical connections that still has to be done. I hate to say this but I have started to treat all my projects as a job, I use to sleep in when I could now it's up with the sun gone with the wind. Since I have been doing this (and the wife hates me) I have in just 3 weeks primed and Raptored my truck frame put a new un rusted box on after doing the flat black raptor bed lining on the box last year put a home made back rack on for a 40 inch bar light and rear work lights and the strobe lights that all function with out issues (but man electrical work takes a long time) and put fender flares on and mud flaps looks good on half of the truck got to get to the rest sometime probably 2021 shooting Raptor on the rust free fenders and hood as soon as I have time away from work. I meant to finish up on the cleaning of the welded frame ties on the Dodge but ran out of time (work gets in the way) I hope to get him on the tires so the KWIK wire harness can get started so I can fire the motor. I just can not expect it to get down trying to catch up on my sleep LOL. I think of the song Bob Seger sings Night moves talking about summer time sweet summer time well S#*T it's back to winter already and I have to heat the metal up to paint it and leave the heat on for a couple days hoping the paint holds and sometimes the song by FFDP wash it all away would be the feel of the day. You can only do what you can if you are doing it by ones own hands. I think you just have to drive yourself like a 4 o'clock in the morning to get it done as I did with fender flares and mud flaps strobe lights man that was a long day/night but man it looks good well worth it.
Yes I live in snow and salt area for sure. All this is for my other half who does the plowing (1300 foot road) just trying to keep her safe as we are getting older. So if I can you can so anyhow I have all night and could go on forever as I thought I was when You wore not hitting the keys with your stories that bring us all here summertime sweet summertime Man I don't have a night off for 4 more 12 hour shifts and jut get off on xmas eve to head to the house.
