: Updates on my Elky..

Hey guys! I haven't been around the site much lately, I got a new job...I'm a janitor for my school.

It's not as bad a job as it sounds, either. I get $8-something an hour, and over summer I get full time..

So I figure since I'm going to be coming into so much money in the near future, I can save up and get some things done on my Elky.

First of all, is saving up to get the left fender fixed. It's starting to rust, and I want to get it stopped.

The next thing is to get my floor pan re-done, as the guy who had it before me parked it outside in the grass.

I'm going to get my entire truck repainted, and have the hood sanded down (it's rough and I can't buff it or anything). I think I'll get the original colors, dark blue and silver...maybe with the glittery paint? And at the same time I get it painted, I hope to get all new chrome trim and a new bedliner, since the one I have is cracked and the chrome is scratched.

I'm going to find bucket seats, and get some new speakers put in, and get my AC fixed.

And, on top of all of that, I plan to drop a 350 in. Hey, I can't refuse if my dad tells me I can have the one he has out in the garage...It's a perfect engine, already rebuilt. And, I have to use it before my brother gets the engine out of his Camaro...But don't worry, he procrastinates.. :D

Those are the only updates I plan to do as of now, other than getting new decals. (mine had none of them when I got it...The guy had the truck painted and hadn't put them back on...)

I think I'll be staying home a lot to afford all of that, what with the $2 a gallon gas rates here...
