Remember what it was like for Christmas when you were young? Same thing, only older, anticipation......

Its a good thing that I am sick as I don't seem to care right now..I cant put the seat in till he finishes the back and if there is time I want the seat done as well..I will probably just sit back and wait for it all to be done..I really wanted to road test it before the crappy weather....
As a girl once told me..."its good to want things"

This is actually Bart II..The original Bart (same owner/trainer) died many years ago from cancer..
I thought it was well done and funny....

Interior guy came to day with the rear 4 panels..Very nice.Even built a border for the back of the door post..I have top to pull them out for the shoulder belts but no big deal..No screws involved...
My seat will have to wait till he gets his little shop (he just moved) set up so it will be going back in for now...Just some front panels to address now.
Should be warm and some what quiet..

Put some insulated coveralls on today (it was snowing here) and put all the seat belt stuff in and mounted the speaker behind the seat stuff.Seat is mounted on some new risers I made that are aluminum and 1" taller..I will deal with the blue seat and seatbelts in the spring.I am not real tall but I have the seat jammed back as far as it will go..Its getting tight in there.I am going to try and figure out the shifter bend tomorrow..
I would rather sit a little high than too low.I may play with the seat riser height.grizzly 001.JPG grizzly 003.JPG grizzly 005.JPG grizzly 006.JPG

Might be harder to get ahold of one up there, but a M1101 trailer would look pretty slick behind your truck.
