Paint looks good coming off. You guys do need to be aware of how much camera time your butts are getting.

Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Thanks for the motivation.
only question now is will a car converted to a pickup or a real pickup win the pickup class?

With the amount supposedly entering I predict an s10
Parking lot 1500 for the win!
Fun day! Thanks Robbie for setting it up, buying safety gear and taking care of us. Thanks JW for the pizza!
Robbie and the rest of the crew, thanks for a great day!
Little Lugnut and I had fun. Glad to help!

Can I assume Little Lugnut was the one that flashed the peace sign at the camera? I was sitting here trying to figure out who's who. Y'all need to wear name tags.
You guys make some great progress after I left yesterday. Looking sweet.
Thanks for setting it up, it was a fun time! The tailgate and flying buttresses look great now that they're attached. Looking forward to seeing how the Mid-Gate and bed work out.
Thanks everyone for coming and for support from afar! I'll get more pictures up, and yes there is still plenty to do so tomorrow is on the books in the morning. Text me if you are heading this way Appleseed.
BTW, garage is bc the house is new to us. My mess is still at the old house, I haven't really moved it here yet.
Re: New house.
Must be pretty humorous from the perspective of the people living in the neighborhood already. You, the new guy, isn't even completely moved in yet and you invite over a Band Of Goons to "ruin a car" right there in the front yard. The neighbors have reported sparks flying and loud grinding sounds.
Off to a good start!
I'll be leaving about 9 from Hanover Park. The Googles say it should take about 45 minutes. Look for me around 10-sh. I'll be sure to throw you that text.

Cool, take your time. If you could do 10:30 that would give my wife time to do her full workout while I have the kids.
Aaaand were live again!
The saab looks to be a much better platform for a pickup than my Q45.
Mount 2 rearward facing seats in the bed and you'll have a Saabaroo Brat!

Don't worry, this was discussed at length. No promises on final product.
Thanks to all who participated, watched, or cheered us on, thanks to you the weekend was a great success.
I will post more details later in the week when I get the photos going and have time to type out the stories, but I want to say right now that I was blown away by the people. Everyone had a can-do attitude, great ideas, and didn't complain when I asked them to do use up a weekend day to cut the roof off an old Saab.
What is really cool to me is that working (especially fabricating) on a car is like solving a series of small problems, and each takes creativity and personality to solve. No two people will do a job the same way. Now, this collective creativity is recorded in a physical thing, a mix of everyone's problem solving skills an abilities. Not only is the car better than if I had done it myself, it is vastly more interesting than if one person did all the work.
I had an incredible time. Thank you for your time, ideas, and busted knuckles. If you ever need anything, let me know!
