Awesome job !! nice to see someone with such a great attitude. Im digging the truck

You've pulled off better metal work with two and a half fingers than most people can do with ten.

Re: my c20 what ya think?
 

Good job dude! Truck is looking hot. Life gives all of us challenges, some more challenging than others. I was also injured at work 10 years ago, but you have to keep on truckin' because giving up is not an option!

Keep up the good work and keep posting your progress.
