The truck is finally to a point to where I will drive it with passengers so I decided to take my dog and fiance out for a drive this weekend. Figured I would share a few pics.

Congrats for having 3 things of beauty!

BLT gmc · 09-15-2014, 11:15 AM

WOW, they are beautiful. Bruce

Rod Run · 09-15-2014, 12:28 PM

That is a beautiful dog... the other two look good too

Here are a couple pics of my girl's husky.

the first one is after a 5 minute brushing (which she doesn't like) and the second one is her relaxing afterwards.

That is a very familiar scene at my house. It is insane how much hair comes off these dogs! Thanks for all the compliments guys.

I bet the dog takes more maintenance than the other two combined

That is a fact.

No rain in the forecast through Wednesday. I'm still waiting to see that thing come to work. The last time it was here it looked a little different.

67JimmyMO · 09-15-2014, 01:21 PM

Very nice, congrats on the progress. Hoping to get mine to that point...soon.

Vintage Windmills · 09-15-2014, 01:28 PM

Looking good- its great weather here for cruises lately!

Andy4639 · 09-15-2014, 02:25 PM

You should be proud of all 3 of them! Very nice.
We have 6 dogs ourselves but none have long hair that shed like that.

I used white oak with natural stain and 5 coats of marine spar varnish. Was a lot of work but it turned out really nice. Seems to be pretty durable too.

Your's truly haha. Over the course of a couple years.

Vintage Windmills · 09-15-2014, 10:33 PM

Cool, sounds like I need to read your build thread.

mrein3 · 09-17-2014, 09:46 PM

Well, after much cajoling, I finally convinced xludan to drive that beautiful truck to work. Unfortunately I got called to another plant early in the morning so I only got to check it out for a few minutes in the early morning sunlight.

Even without the trim and final finishing touches, this is a VERY nice truck.
