Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

One of these days we should cruise on up to my cabin, it's a bit higher than the foothills though, beautiful country though:D

Well guys it looks like we are moving to a larger house with a 2 car garage, hope I don't get no silly ideas like blowing the truck apart to do a dropmember ;) :lol:

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Sounds like you already have the idea. Now it's all in the follow-through. :lol:

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Sounds like you're gonna be looking for a dd while this happens ;) congrats on the bigger house. I hope it's as easy for me to find. :lol:

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Don't tell my wife :lol:

It's just as easy to find and on a cultasac so no more people flying by likes its a highway.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
