moved on its own power
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.

Re: moved on its own power
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.

Re: moved on its own power
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 !!

Re: moved on its own power
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.

Re: moved on its own power
The color is windveil blue from the late model mustangs , yes its a furd color.Shop is just a 30 x 40 metal building that was put up without insulation.I really wanted to use foam but it was too much so I ended up spraying cellulose just like people use in houses except it has a industrial glue mixed in as it is sprayed.Its kinda ugly but I can now heat it very easy and it was a fraction of the foam.
