Daisy

When I first got daisy the outside was in ROUGH shape and still is somewhat I’m planning to come up to the school on Wednesdays to start working on her. When I started to take care of her everything was done the wrong way I’ve already talked about some things like the motor and rims and stuff but nothing really cosmetic other than the rims. The bed is gone like if you open the tail gate it falls off it makes me cry by the way. The bed supports are gone like there is nothing left to them so when I’m driving it down the road and I hit a bump it hits hard and the bed shakes like no other. It’s so bad that it looks like the bed is going to fall off that’s how bad it moves up and down. I started to weld in angle iron as a quick fix for now. When I drive around other people they either speed around me or stay like 400 feet away. The Chromo was all like spray painted black over the whole truck other than the rear bumper and the mirrors. The other day I took the bump off and put a new one on it and took the chromo off around the head lights and steel wooed it took the paint off and bring that great shine back to the front of the truck I still have to do the rain guards around the doors and all the chromo will be back.
The inside had a 90’s dodge ram seat in it the seat looked bad and it wasn’t even wide enough to be bolted to the floor. When I took it out to put in the right seat I had to unbolt it the cut the dodge seat mounting bracket in half to make it bolt down. They took a 4x4 block of wood and put it under the middle to keep the seat from falling to the floor it was bad. Since it wasn’t bolted every time you sat on the edge of the seat the seat spread apart. It looked like in the movies when the roof of a house opens or the drive way opened up to let a rock ship fly out from under the house. To make things worse they also flat blacked every single panel and trim piece everything other than the gauges that doesn’t even work right. They put a manual shift tack in the truck and bolted it to the dash now I have to get a new dash to get rid of the big hole in it the truck is an automatic. You can still use the tack don’t get me wrong but I think it is dumb ugly and I hate it. About the engine I forgot to say that the oil pan was leaking so I put a new pan and pan gasket on it and while I had the pan off I put a high pressure oil pump in it so now if there is a leak anywhere ill know and I do know now. When the put the valve covers on they tightened them to tight and broke the covers and so now oil sprays out on to the intake manifold.
