so friday was a BAD day ..
I ended up breaking my rear glass



CRAP , CRAP , CRAP , not real sure how I did it , just one of those things I guess ..
so I was very upset with myself .. and just left work ..
I was very upset that now less then a week to the first show , I had no rear glass , and I didnt think I was going to make it ..

had a couple of beers , and "calm'd" down a bit , and remembered .. I have a whole inventory of Trekker stuff .. including some new Makrolon rear "glass" pieces ..

so with fathers day at hand .. I have to "bribe" my boy to come help me today get things "buttoned up" for this Friday ..

so today , we installed the new glass ..



lock/latch .. and hatch supports ..




.

 

sure ..

got it out today .. I got the mudflaps on , rear tail pipe and tip , 4WD emblems and som other little things ..







also got to put a few miles on it .. Runs great . normal driving it's good , But I will need to get the URD kit , with these tires , 2nd gear and the skinny pedal "matted" it "pings" .

also .. got the rear seats finally , and hopefully back to the shop tonight for the door panel install .. engine detail tomorrow , and final polish and clean .. and I think we're ready for the show


.

 

That is a thing of beauty... I even went and showed my Girlfriend what a real classic trekker looks like. I believe her words were"ooooh sexy". And trust me, she is not into anything with 4 wheels on it.

So, even the totally nieve think it's top notch; good job again on the truck!

 

the more i see updated pictures of this the more i like it. looks awesome. did a awesome job. looks great out in the sun. too bad i cant see it in person

 

Hi Corey, I have been away for a while, you have made some real good progress with that Trekka of yours, well done.

 

Thanks Clive .. hope all is well in your area of the world .. I see there are fires and floods !!! I was hopin' your ok

so i'm thinkin' after this first show , I will be needing a URD kit .. any leads ?


.

 

thanks .. I have seen the site (obviously) .. but I was more thinkin' a "better deal" .. as like anyone else , i'm always lookin' for a "better deal"

that got to be the sickest engine under a 1st gen

 

Wow Just amazing! I cried a little seeing that...

 

My FIRST show and shine ..

I was able to get a few hours of seat time in
VERY happy ..
also filled the tank up with 94 Octane and HUGE differance , no more supercharger ping !! ran flawlessly ....

Friday night was the parade .. what a blast !! People lined the route , while about 800 cars went by .
I felt very proud when people would point and gimmy the "thumbs up" .. little kids were " oohh look at that monster truck" ;D .. very cool !!





Saturday Morn , I arrived a bit late to the show . Turns out my DD/work truck decided to "spit" the starter out of it's place .. The top ear/mount flange broke right off , and the lower bolt had worked it's way almost completly out ..
so when I finally got there , I ended up in obscurity .. although quite a few people were able to view the truck , not nearly the exposure I was hoping for ..



day 2 was a little better , was right on the main street .. lots of exposer ...

Awesome looking truck. Really liking the red and tasteful graphix.
Been a long, long labor of love.
