Do you sleep? :lol: Truck looks great! I finally did a test fit of my motor yesterday. Hopefully I'll have it running again by the end of summer...

I'd like to see a picture of the trailer and the truck that pulled that thing. :)

Eric, it was nice to meet you today and the truck was awesome in person. Congrats on the two awards.

I have a couple of pics, but I'll let Eric post his first.

Very good show. I was going to say cool, but anyone that was there knows it was pretty hot out! Tons of shade thankfully but once you got back on the freeway, it was 105 out! I have to say, I had to come back to Tootsie at least 3 times to get some clean shots of it as it was surrounded by people all day! Eric, you really blew some minds yesterday with the truck. It looked awesome!

It was great to see all of you guys this weekend feel free to post Bryan any pic you would like. To be honest I did not take any pics of the truck but Jimmy did so I will post those. It was a great weekend and thank you for everyone that helped push the old girl into the show. It is amazing to me how cool everyone is at these shows. It does not matter what truck we drive or build everyone is cool. So can't wait till next year. Trip home was great other then I lost a tire on the outside of my truck that destroyed the side of my bed on my dually. Crap happens my family is safe at home and that's all that matters

Ya I will post some picks it ripped the fender clean off the truck. I am glad it was a dually or it would have wiped out both trucks and who knows what else

Interesting - the wood is not permanently mounted? Do you still plan to paint the wheels?

I'll bet it's nice to get it out a bit. Really looks amazing!

Also for the first time in a long time I am exhausted. I have not been this tired in a long time

Tons of work left. Pulled the wood because people wanted to see the frame

A good kind of tired, though because you're getting something accomplished. I love the idea of being able to display all that awesome work under there - it's a shame to cover it up.
