DOWN TO THE LAST LITTLE DETAILS AND THEN SHE IS OFF FOR PAINT. IT IS ALWAYS THE LITTLE THINGS THAT ONE FORGETS AND THE REALIZES LATER THAT THEY WERE NEEDED. WELL I THINK WE HAVE THEM ALL NOW!! HERE WE WANTED TO MAKE THE TAIL LIGHT APPEAR TO BE SUNKEN BACK INTO THE FENDER. A LITTLE JOB THAT TOOK ALL DAY..HA HA!! BUT THE FINISHED LOOK IS WHAT WE WERE AFTER. JUST A SMALL DETAIL BUT WORTH THE EFFORT FOR SURE.
SEE YA WHEN THE PAINTS BACK AND WE HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW YOU ABOUT OUR SPECIAL "PHASE 2" ADDITION FOR CAGED!!!
BACK AT THE REAR WE NEEDED TO ADD SIGNAL LIGHT MOUNTS SO THEY ARE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE REAR FRAME RAILS. NOTHING TO EXTRAVAGANT BUT YET TIDDY AND VERY FUNCTIONAL. WE THINK THEY WILL BLEND IN NICELY AND FULL FILL THE DMV'S REQUIREMENT FOR THE SIGNAL LIGHTS. WE HAVE ALSO FINISHED PUTTING ON THE FRONT FORWARD CONTROL MOUNTS. EVERYTHING IS GROUND DOWN NICE AND CLEAN SO AS TO MAKE LESS WORK FOR THE PAINTER TO FINISH. AFTER ALL...HE DOES THE "PAINT"...WE PROVIDE THE BASE PROJECT!!
THERE ARE SO MANY DETAILS IT SEEMS LIKE IT WILL NEVER END BUT WE ARE ALMOST THERE!! ALL OF THE TOP MOUNTS ON THE FRAME ARE IN PLACE TO HOLD THE TANKS, CENTER STRIP AND THE WIRING SPOT FOR THE JUNCTIONS AND BREAKERS THAT ARE NEEDED. HAVEING THEM HERE WILL KEEP THEM OUT OF THE DIRT AND VERY ACCESSABLE IF THERE WAS EVER TO BE A PROBLEM. I THINK WE HAVE IT ALL NOW.
SO NOW THAT IT IS STRIPPED AND READY TO GO IT WILL BE OUT OF MY HANDS FOR A LITTLE WHILE. A NICE BREAK AFTER 7 WEEKS OF WORK...WELDING AND GRINDING.....THINKING AND PLANNING....NOW IT IS "ZEKE'S" TURN TO THINK AND PLAN AND FILL AND SAND...PAINT AND GENERALLY TURN THIS RAW PRODUCT INTO SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL. I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL SHE COMES BACK AND WE BEGIN THE ASSEMBLY OF "CAGED!" THIS SURELY IS ONE OF MY MOST PERSONAL
PROJECTS. NOT SOMETHING I HAD TO DO FOR SOMEONE....I GUESS IT WAS SOMETHING I HAD TO DO FOR MY OWN SANITY!!! ALREADY MY MIND IS RUNNING WITH THE NEW THINGS I HAVE LEARNED HOW TO DO WITH THIS PROJECT. WHAT'S NEXT???.......WHO KNOWS FOR SURE BUT I WILL TELL YOU...THINGS ARE FORMING IN MY DREAMS ALREADY....HEY "ZEKE!" MAYBE IT'S TIME TO VISIT THE "BORG" AGAIN......WHO KNOWS?????
