Well I drove it today for the first time in ..... I think about two years now.Far from done but getting to go down the road and back sure helps the motivation.Me and the kids were grinning ear to ear , when I asked wife if she wanted a ride she said she had a headache.

Nice truck.

Time to find a new wife!

Man, great to hear that you got to drive it down the road.
Any more pics of the build?
Looks like it's gonna be quite nice.

cparman · 02-19-2009, 09:08 PM

SWEET!!!! I remember when I started my Chevelle, after 2 years. Thought I would ----- well you know. It took a few more weeks/month, but I would drive it thru the HOOD after every new piece was installed. It was a wonderful time as I finished my old girl. Keep it up !!

Your doing a great job on that truck! Is that a factory color? It really looks good with the white top. What kind of garage do you have? It looks different with some gray walls. Just curious.

thirdstreettito · 02-19-2009, 09:06 PM

Gorgeous truck! Drive it over here so I can go down the road!

72BlckButy · 02-19-2009, 09:31 PM

Yeah thats really why she would not ride with me also, that headache thing has never stopped me before.

BluTrukker · 02-19-2009, 10:18 PM

nice ride, I like the color even though its furd!

Sinister · 02-19-2009, 09:53 PM

Truck looks great. Congrats.

67ChevyRedneck · 02-20-2009, 01:50 AM

I love that color on the Mustangs and it looks even better on your truck! They don't offer it anymore on the new 'stangs, they use "Vista Blue" now.

texanidiot25 · 02-20-2009, 01:54 AM

My first time was scary, brief, shaky, uncertain and I had a hard time stopping, and I was as tired as a dog afterwards.

First time driving the truck, that is.
