Think Wisconsin gets pretty cold as well but hope it's a mild winter for us both Eric.
Yea damn deer will do that just glad you can still drive it home. Hope it's minimal damage.446 mile round trip... 14 miles from the house ... F'n scraggly doe suicides the truck... locked it up so only 35 or 45 mph on impact. Mostly plastic damage that popped out. Might have broken off a clip inside by the fog light.
Went back to check the deer and it was standing on the side of the road... couldn't get a shot at it to put it down before it hobbled into the woods.

Kids pitched in together and bought me 8 tractor seats. I received them yesterday and went and bought some 7/8 bolts and nuts today for the swivel part. I'm a blessed dad to have good kids.
That's looking amazing Fred. So cool
Thanks... two plastic studs that hold metal clips for another internal plastic piece appear to be the only irreparable casualties... it's inside so I'll just figure out a way to secure them from rattling
Hope it turns out good Chris I got a pile of work to mount the seats but I am having a good time.
Been there done that many times. Hope you can get it secure enough. Damn new cars are getting harder to fix.
Looks great Fred! But....um. with the bolts standing up like this, at least nobody will fall off, if you can find passengers
Set that up there to get the plate for the bottom of the tractor seat dimensions But yea for sure no body will fall off. LMAO
Primer was too soft to sand. Will finish it tomorrow. Close though
Shocking!If they are really bad they get charged!
Primer dry is most of the time 3 hours but depends on temp and how many coats and the brand of primer.
I don't know Frank I'm done I think doing body work on the new cars and tired of the dust after doing it since I was a young kid
Wow , glad to hear not to much damage .446 mile round trip... 14 miles from the house ... F'n scraggly doe suicides the truck... locked it up so only 35 or 45 mph on impact. Mostly plastic damage that popped out. Might have broken off a clip inside by the fog light.

Looks good Fred.
Evening. Today was best day in a while. Several promising interviews
Yes, its dirty. This will be the last time i do any bodywork on anything new-ish, unless its my own. The old stuff, thicker metal seems to be my preference. And i will stick with rat rod style. Other than the barracuds, dart and buddy’s pickup. And my power wagon..

Well my bar is getting more refined! I am proud owner of a pool table thanks to @memike ! His buddy sold me a very nice table, of course it took three of us to load it in the truck in multiple pieces. When I got it home I played my old fat and lazy card and just rolled the whole thing out by myself! My Dad and I leveled it and broke it in.
What a great time we had, I have not got that drunk in a long time, I was to happy to stagger, looking at that picture you took of me by the truck, it looks weird, I look like a little person!! Some great memories made, and yes, sugar britches had to drive us back to his hotel, never forget our fun time, super glad that great Valley pool table made the trip, thsts a 1979 model with new bumpers and felt, but the felt is the highest quality that will last many years and shoot perfectly.
Damn.
Charlie horse! 2nd time i ever had one. 1st was last night.
