Cat 797F Progress Video no.2- Todays picture shows a little more progress as I rough in the front grill and first railings , front stairs , front ladder and mount air cleaners to fenders. It also shows the headlight openings cut out with the plasma cutter.

The monster truck still doesn’t look like anything yet and rarely do I show any pictures or videos at this early stage. But it is a slow process designing and cutting out the first 100 pieces. It won’t start to take shape for another full week of designing and building more parts. But already I am starting to imagine how it is going to look.
Hey Deb !! What’s for supper ?? – Tonight Deb put a whole chicken in the oven along with fresh bread and beans, yum !!
CADILLAC DEAL ?? – Well, Deb and I always think if something is meant to be , it will work out. We got the call last night that it didn’t work out after all on the new Black Cadillac CTS for me. So it looks like Deb will still be the queen in this family riding around in her sporty little Cadillac CTS , ha,ha.
It was a dream come true for me to have six Corvettes over the last 37 years. Deb never complained and was always excited for me each time I got a new Vette. The only thing Deb ever asked for was a new Cadillac and I am very happy for her that she has it. It is almost like her little Corvette. Now that she doesn’t work and finally gets to really enjoy life what better vehicle for her to drive around than that.
Deb worked very hard her whole life and I am so glad for her getting to be done worrying about pre-schoolers.
Have a Great Wed. !!!!!!!!!!!
