Visible progress? That's crazy talk....

Ok, so I've been slack - once again, Josh gave me a good (and again, deserved) kick in the pants after I'd made no updates for a while... and the gorgeous 80 degree weather over the weekend certainly helped too. From power-washing to actually beginning to paint this thing.... it was a productive weekend.

My father-in-law, Billy, brought over his power-washer, and we unleashed it on the truck. This was preceded by the fun of actually driving the truck (even if only around the house and into the backyard). Yes, of course, my driver's seat was the lawnchair - what else?? We washed the outside, the inside (have no fear, the lawn-chair was not injured during the washing of this vehicle - it was removed beforehand), underneath (as much as could be reached without lifting it up), in the wheel-wells, and in the engine bay.

Here are some pics with a glimpse of the red painting at the end too...

































Before:

























And after ("holy rust, Batman!")... lots of work ahead back here:

Finally, some paint (Just a rough Rustoleum Red spray-on job for now...):









































And for my bride, Karen wanted me to throw a Tucker picture in there from the weekend....
