Thank God Its Finished
Well after almost 4 months of restoring someone elses mistakes and goofs, mismatched parts, faulty mechanics, and poorly executed attempt at making a road hugging hotrod.................I got it all finished!!
Enjoy the first round of pics.

Re: Thank God Its Finished
Thanks guys..it has been a lot of money and long hours working on it to get it just right.
I had to take pics for the new Haggerty policy...so went to the High School to get permission to do the photo shoot behind the center field wall of the baseball field.........and it they turned out perfect. So good I think I had over 60 kids stopping to watch me take pics of it.

We are trying to find a place to start a new truck night here in town. Hopefully somewhere in Altoona, Pleasant Hill, or Ankeny

Great job, 'buck'. Unbelievable, and for just 4 months too! ...and yours has a distinction most of our trucks lack: it's the 1st one I've heard of that was actually f-i-n-i-s-h-e-d! Until now, I have always thought all our trucks were perpetual-modding projects, regardless.

Keep up the good work; and when you get tired of those seats, put me in line: they look as comfy as any I've seen.

Great looking truck, love the interior! I don't think we are ever truly "finished" with these trucks though. I got mine done less than six month ago and still am changing things.

Looking awesome! The coolest part about it is that this is a true "driver". I see this thing all over the place no matter what the weather. Hats off.

As long as the road is dry........I will drive. I coated the whole bottom of body and inside fenders as well as inner fenders with corrosion protection to keep the salt and sand from bugging me too much

Extremely nice job. Great choices throughout.

But don't forget to finish this off this sweet part, Bro:
I'd go either black...or the original brushed... for the sides.

But here's the orange.

Actually it is being rewrapped in the black ostrich like the console sides. The whole gauge assembly is getting done. So yeah I guess someone was right......never truly finished.
