Thanks Lock Doc
Hi Lock Doc It was some years ago I busted my West Cost Junior mirror trying to remove some home made extentions You were kind enough to send me a replacement up to Canada and I 'd like to say thank you very much!! I have had a real slow build but its getting close to finnished. I said back then I would send a pic when i was done. I have done every thing from diff to engine my self, tought my self how to do body work from welding to paint.

Re: Thanks Lock Doc
Leon is a good guy to care abut others as he does. Truck came out looking like a pro job. I haven't seen (or noticed) your name here in a while. I remember you were friends with John Z and I believe it was you who came here to announce his passing. Thanks for letting us know. We would have been left to wonder had it not been for you.

Re: Thanks Lock Doc
Sure gotta respect anyone able to do quality work like that, especially self taught. Truck turned out super nice, you should be proud.

Re: Thanks Lock Doc
I like your thank you to Lock Doc. I haven't posted much and he answered two questions for me.
I am looking for a project like you undertook. I to would like to do a ground up project. Good job and I'm sure it's a good feeling to have it done. |
