How close are you to Southern California? Drive that thing out to Wasteland Weekend 2012!
We'll give you free admission for two. I know, that doesn't begin to cover the cost of gas, but at least it helps.

I'm not sure if I would fit in at one of those things, my friends all tell me with my bubbly personality and boyish good looks I would stand out at one of these events!

Re: cobra truck tribute
Aside from posing for stupid pictures, I did get some work done on the truck. I was gonna buy a piece of diamond plate for the back end, but $135.00 was not in my wallet this week. Then a friend reminded me I left a piece at his shop a few years ago and it was still there. It wasn't quite long enough to do the back in one solid piece, so I will have two seams in the center. But doing it this way made it easier to build the structure for the trailer hitch I wanted to build in the back. You can see a 2" ball on the movie truck back, but I wanted a stab hitch so I can pull my little camper. So this pick shows the center part with the hitch and the right side piece tacked in place.

Re: cobra truck tribute
Left side done! The diamond plate really starts to identify the truck for what it is. Having a hard time going to work and not staying home to work on this thing. I added a 1" half round to the inside for strengh and to soften the edge for people climbing in and out of the truck.

The chain in those handcuffs is high-tensile steel, it'll take you ten minutes to hack through it with this, now if your lucky ? you can hack through your ankle in five minutes. Go !
