Woohoo!!!!
I'm now in blue!! Every day, I learn something new on here, so it was a no-brainer to give $25 for all of that learnin'! The site and everybody on it has also eased my mind from from that "Oh my Lord, what have I gotten into?!!?" frame of mind into "Damn! this is fun!". Thanks to all.

Re: Woohoo!!!!
Congrats, it's fun to find other people who are in just as far over their heads as you.

Re: Woohoo!!!!
Yeah, when my Uncle told me that I could have my grandfather's truck, I was stoked. Then, after my brother and I drove down to Florida from Virginia and saw it, he laughed at me and I was speechless to it's condition. This site has helped loads for my self esteem!! This, even after my Father told me I should push it into the ocean.

Re: Woohoo!!!!
This place is great to get motivated on your truck, if I'm getting my butt kicked in the garage I can always get a full head of steam again getting on here.

Re: Woohoo!!!!
Welcome to the board from West Tennessee. Congrats on getting your grandfathers truck for a project. If it is a little more work to restore that will just add to the satisfaction when you get it done. Good Luck and keep us posted.

Re: Woohoo!!!!
Yeah, it is nice to have his truck, but honestly, the damage was so severe I have had to scrap the majority of it. I had never seen metal paper thin before, until seeing that truck. Thus, I am down to the frame and am using donors to complete. There will be parts of his truck included, but it is really no longer my grandfather's as I remember it. But, he will still be remembered with what I could salvage, so that matters most to me.
