Im back in business!!!!

Alright, I just signed a lease on a house that has a garage!!!!! So that means I can resume work on my project 62 short fleet side! As you can tell I am a litle exited.

Some background info. I got the 62 when I was 16 and it was far from nice. I tore it down, sand blasted and painted the frame, put a new front end with disc brakes on it, moved the gas tank under the bed, and began working on the body. When I turned 18 I joined the Army and didnt see the truck for about 5 years. Then I got sent to my home town to be an Army recruiter, so I got a house with a garage and began working on the truck. BUT, then due to inevitable circumstances I got a divorce and I was forced to move to an apartment and the truck has been sitting at my brothers outside for the last year.

But now that my 6.5 year army career just came to an end and im now 25 years old ( I have owned the truck around 9 years now and I have never drove the damn thing ) I am moving into a house the beginning of August with a two car garage that is all mine and the truck will be my top priority. Lucky for me over the last year I have been slowly gathering parts for the truck that include a 396 big block (dynoed at 580 hp) and a race ready TH400 tranny! I CANT WAIT!!!!!

Sorry my post was so long, but I had to share the news with somebody...and I figured you guys were the only ones bitten by the same bug and would understand.
