well, since i enjoy shameless self promotion.

i thought i'd show you all what i've done in about the past 8 months.

so.

before.

and now.

if you haven't been following my build thread, here's a quick recap.

bought for $100 in May.
worked most of the summer and fall.
welded. sanded. painted.
spent less than $1000.
and here we are.

i think she looks pretty good, all things considered.

so that leaves but one question..

what do YOU think?

It's cocaine... I still haven't figured out why they take all the trouble to bring it up from South America.

samwise68 · 12-04-2007, 10:31 PM

thanks guys!

it makes me appreciate it even more, knowing that i did all of the work. are there down falls? oh yeah. the waves in the bed sides show that. lol. but, thats ok. down the road, i can fix that. but for now...i'm going to enjoy the old girl.

and Doc. about that elbow grease. sure would be nice to get a Zirk fitting, and just pump some in. yup, make it alot easier...

thanks again all.
