working on it when i had time. ordering parts when i had money. the beginning of Dec i started putting what i had together and thinking about what i really wanted to do with this truck. first thing was shave the doors. i dont really know why i do it but almost every truck i have ever own. i have shave off the handles. as my girlfriend (05twohigh) will tell you. this one was no different.

after a year of being the "pismo panda" she got some color. color name "kubota bright orange 2" that's right tractor paint. a friend owns a kubota dealership and i loved the color. so another friend and i did some body work and shot it with some color. for his first time shooting tractor paint. i think he did a good job.
