I'm back, or something like that. Shut down my shop in TX and booked ass for FL...down here in gator hole, skeeter lake, something like that. Working w/my lil bro building hot rods and restoring classics.
Not much else to say but that...my HD is about in the same shape as before, it did a kickass job of getting me down here, loaded down fairly well for the 1,000+ mile trip:
Between the full blue snapon box, the ext cab, and another snapon box in the bed of the ext cab along with some misc. tools so I'm fairly sure I came close to overloading that 7,000 lb trailer. Only time the HD gave me any grief was that unexpected steep climb back up the tunnel somewhere in AL right before crossing over into FL, hadda downshift a little.
My lil bro has a cool dually as well, '58 or '59 GMC 1 or maybe 1.5 ton, hell I dunno, sort of home-made into an extended cab a million years ago. Rusted all to hell, you can see through the body in more places than it is solid, but it's cool as shit and runs and drives pretty decent! I'll try to grab some pics of it to post up soon.
