It has been one year since iv's owned my 66'
 
Well today has been one year that I owned the truck went from a stock field truck with no motor or trans to a running driving air bagged daily driver! I Built it to be a driver, nice to look at but not to nice to throw stuff in the back or worry about scratching paint, I wanted to have more done to the truck by now like the exhaust, reupholster the seat ,power dual master brakes, and some other items but am pretty stoked on how it turned out especially since alot of the build i was on crutch's and in a leg cast and all done with basic hand tools and in a driveway, it was all about having motivation to get off my butt everyday and work on it ...im pretty stoked!! I know that it will never be done and ill always be doing something to it so there will be more updates only time will till what it looks like in another year!

Well no celebrating really besides driving it for the past 3 days, since that is when I first started driving it........now that the third day is over im a little more relaxed driving it instead of listening for something to break or go wrong like i was the first two days!:lol:
