You gotta spread the love fairly on these trucks. Juggle them around a bit. Especially when one belongs to the better half! :lol:

sorry I missed your post Joe.
I tend to have tunnel vision until I get bored :lol:

:lol:
shooting for early mid June, the crew has snowballed a bit....so, once it is at a good stopping point (ie, becomes my DD ;)), we will be on it hardcore! :metal:

Now you need to move everything else in the garage to storage so you have room to work the truck. :lol:

Glad to see it's home Joe. Hope to start seeing some progress.

Hey Joe, how are things going. Is that your original truck or another one I sure would like to have that bed looks real good from this side. Oh another update, we drove to Springfield and picked up a AB she's a handful, very rough and a lot of biting when she plays hard. She is only 12 weeks old now and if we don't stop this biting she is going to be out of control when she is grown. But back to your truck, that must be a different truck unless you tore it apart again.

Hey Billy

they are a bit rough and tumble, but they take training very well.
It is the same truck, it has just been in pieces for far too long :(

I think the '66 is my favorite truck of all time. Can't wait to see how this turns out. Good luck on the rest of the build.

That bike is pretty cool. You can get some pretty good money out of those.
