things are going to start moving fast guys... i'm having my painter move in my house as a roommate. he can get all the body work done here and take her to his shop to get sprayed.

y'all are like family so i might as well tell ya i'm getting divorced. this truck will be done by the end of summer beginning of fall. and yes... i'm keeping her no matter what. hell i'm keeping everything i can afford... house, pups, silver, (except the srt8:( house and silver are my priorities). sooooo.... no more *****ing when i buy parts:lol: and having the painter living here is going to help speed progress up. thanks for listining

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

Man, sorry to hear about that Dennis. On a positive note, the truck is coming together nicely. At least with the painter there it will get done faster.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

WOW Dennis, didnt see that coming. Hope everything works out for you my friend. At least you guys wont be in a crazy custody battle or something like that. Silver is looking great my friend. Keep up the amazing work.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
 

Well at least you'll have the truck done. After 2wives I've learned to put my money where i know I'll get a good return.
