Madeline Rheaume Hi all! It’s been a bit hasn’t it… I’ve got something a little exciting for you all, and it’s a playlist! I spent the last month searching for artists on Spotify who had under 100,000 monthly listeners and put some of my top picks in a playlist. The idea is to share new (and possibly … Read moreFebruary Under 100,000 Playlist
Just like that, it’s January again. Everyone has come out with their resolutions or goals for this coming calendar year. Whether your list is 3 items or 30 items long, I hope you achieve whatever it is you’re setting out to tackle this year. A few things on my list include reading more books, complete … Read moreCool, it’s 2021
Under 100,000 This is a playlist released bi-monthly for you to discover artists that have under 100,000 monthly listeners. Music of multiple genres. No clear theme or structure. Hopefully, you’ll find a song to put on a playlist of your own. Weapons of Anew – Sick Boy Shinedown vibes, solid meaning, translating the effects of … Read moreDecember Music Rundown
The morning was spent putting the doors and such back on the build, then hooking up the gas tank and attaching the seats. It would once again be moving under its own weight. The cold December morning brought rain, and by the afternoon there were big fat flakes of snow quickly falling from the sky. … Read moreDay 15
The primer has been applied and it’s time for paint! Tan and black Raptor paint were the colors that got picked. The heavy-duty textured paint will hide imperfections and stand up well against the rough abuse the truck will face in the woods once it’s off-road. Tan will also look decent even if it’s covered … Read moreDay 13 and 14
Weeks before the first snow came to the garage, it snowed Bondo dust. So much Bondo. Applying Bondo is a repetitive and time-consuming process. It smells horrid too. But it’s necessary to seal up the edges and seams of the build. After all, no one wants water to leak into the cab. Or anywhere for … Read moreDay 11 and 12
After many days of putting the sheet metal up against the truck and double-checking measurements, it’s finally time for it to go up for good. One last look at the cab’s skeleton, and up it goes! It’s really exciting to be at this stage. After several months of following along, the truck is starting to … Read moreDay 10
Another day of documenting while the boys work on the rocker panels. That’s more or less the update. It took a few workdays to get both sides sealed up, but better to take the time rather than rush through it and have holes in the vehicle. Oh! The back of the cab is getting measured … Read moreDay 8 and 9
It’s been a few weeks. Sorry. Progress on the Land Cruiser has been moving forward. I promise. I took the short break because the last few weeks of work have been for one thing: rocker panels. To avoid posting updates on the same part of the build two weeks in a row, next week I … Read moreDay 7
Cut, grind, weld, repeat. It’s the second day of working on the support system for the back of the cab. The next major step for the back is to cover it with sheet metal to enclose it all in. Look through the gallery to get a sneak peek of what the back will look like … Read moreDay 6
