Beautiful! Your 50 looks super clean an fast! I love the sleeper... I was at a light the other day a rich kid in a uber built Raptor came jamming up next to me. I knew he was going to punch it, so of course I did the same. He pulled me off the line, but by the time I hit second I was even an in third I started to pull him. The kid was so pissed he slammed on his brakes and swung down a side road. It never gets old blowing past people in a lowrider

Got a new pic of my truck this weekend at the Summit Racing Atlanta Motorama. Got to take a couple laps around the track in my '59 which was pretty darn cool. I was blown away that the judges picked my truck for the Rat Rod award. Saw a few AD, TF, and 60s+ trucks there, hopefully next year will be even bigger.

Picked up a 59 Viking to use as a water hauler. Runs and drives great. It's got a straight 6 (261?) with a 4 speed and a 2 speed rear end. Everything works. Drove it 42 kilometers to work the other day too! Goes 50mph comfortably, didn't really like 60 mph..

Looks awesome! It looks completely different by just changing the wheels and tires and adding a visor. I like the painted wheels and blackwall look personally, but I can't deny that the new look is great!
