That is looking good.

Doesn't snow in Arizona? I'm originally from the White Mountains. It snows, a lot.
Thx! it was meant tongue in cheek and I should've said Phoenix. :) I've only been up to Heber/Overgaard once and that was in the summer, Flagstaff gets over 9' on an average winter. That's way to much for me, that's why I'm down in the valley.:sun:

I’ll run around here in shorts and t-shirt when it’s around 40. Everyone always asks if I’m not cold. I tell them I’m from Arizona and 40 is warm. Their next statement is always about how Arizona is desert. I give them the eye roll and tell them that it’s not *all* desert, but that even the desert gets cooler at night.

I want to go back one day. Don’t know when, and I’ve been saying that for about 20 years.

I wear shorts 365 but it does get cold here in the winters, some nights in the upper 20's, it's rare but it happens. Heck anything below 70 now and I'm cold but out here with the lack of humidity and super dry air it does that to you. I'm originally from MA and at 60 I'm still in a t shirt where here I'm in a hoodie. ?

If you haven't been back in a while it's changed a lot and not for the best either. Way to many left coast transplants here and the traffic is crazy now, it's a mini LA. ?

Last month, starting the 6th we were on an rv trip via a caravan that started in St George, Utah. Visited the national parks, Arches, Zion, CanyonLands, Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, ect. For almost an entire month temps during the day were in the mid 90's. At St George temps reached 103 for the 4 days we were there. Had both ac units in our rv going full blast 24/7.
Hot temps, dirt, dust, hot hot hot !!!
How do you all survive??? Couldn't wait to get back to Virginia with its 80/70 degree Sept/Oct temps.

Accidentally put a scratch on the truck but it’s okay. Gotta be more careful. I’ll blame it on a pinstripe from a branch ?

Where is it? :inspect:

All I see is a kid who looks like he's standing in front of one of those circus mirrors.?

The light kind of hides it here I show you. No circus mirrors this time haha.

Alright. All done for now with holographic film. Probably will re-do the handles and side mirrors when it comes off. This was just a learning process and it’s definitely no where near perfect but I’m happy with the results :) bonus little scratch I made hehe. Oops ?

Take a fine point black marker, fill it in, wax it, and call it a day.
I have a motorcraft fill in pen with shadow black, I should use it and wax over. Thanks for the suggestion, totally forgot I had that pen. Now I gotta find it....

Probably in the Twilight Zone Box of "Stuff I bought but never used and now I gotta find it",
3rd shelf up, two boxes over, behind the 10 year old Halloween decorations !!!
