    Its a dry heat here. Not sure what 27C is in F but I do know that's too hot to work in for fun.

    Boy I sound like a wuss now. In my defence I'm more accustomed to 15C to -40C lol.

    Yea it's just Miserable to do any work down here right now.

    Either I am getting older and fatter or it's getting hotter and more humid every year here.

    About gave myself a full blown heatstroke trying to finish up some chores before it rained.

    Had a headache and body aches the rest of the day.

    I finished up sanding the paint from the back wall. Still need to hand sand around the rivets and there's a few areas where I need to go into the aluminum a bit as the aluminum was a bit powdery under the paint. I'm going to take the doors off and do them seperate. Not going to touch the fibreglass roof until just before I take it in for primer as I've been told UV rays are extremely hard on fibreglass. Pictures won't upload for some reason.

    No offense, we all get acclimated to our geography, but that's fall " 'round these parts"

    A class V receiver hitch and RV fifth wheel are on my horizon too. Someone, my old mind can't remember who, suggested I hide the receiver behind a flip up license plate, thought that sounded cool.
    The truck is coming along nicely , Keep us posted.

    F = C x 9/5 + 32 F = 27 x 9 divided 5 + 32 27 x 9 = 243 divided by 5 = 48.6 + 32 = 80.6F

    Ripped out the floor. 3/4" plywood and it must've been original because it was rotten to the core in a few spots. 2016-08-21 18.10.32.jpg

    Gutted out the passenger door too.

    Steam cleaned out the inside of the cab. Looks like I get to test out my metalworking skills. Floor and firewall are rotten through in a few spots on the passenger side.
