Topless on the Tail Of The Dragon
Curious how many will open just because of the title.
 Anyway, my hood hinges are off to get rebuilt at www.hoodhingerepair.com, but it was way too pretty here in East TN last Sunday to just stay at home, so we took a Mother's Day drive on US129, The NC28 back into Cherokee, NC before heading back home. The wife rode with me in the truck while our sons followed in her Mustang.

Re: Topless on the Tail Of The Dragon
There's something about a righteous ride without a hood that say's "I just don't care what you think!" compared to a POS without a hood that says "I just can't afford it and someone will think it's cool!"
I still bet you can't wait to get some rebuilt hinges back on. Nice photography!

Re: Topless on the Tail Of The Dragon
Nice pics.
When I saw the title the first thing that came to mind was a Blazer...

Re: Topless on the Tail Of The Dragon
Well we were expecting a pair of toplessness and there is only one.
Yeah buddy. Take advantage of a nice spring day when you can.

Re: Topless on the Tail Of The Dragon
I opened it just because of the title. I cannot tell a lie. I thought there was a chance, and there it was, a beauty! Thank you!

Re: Topless on the Tail Of The Dragon
I've done that road on my Harley twice. Just as scary the second time as the first. I bet it was a blast in the pick up!

Re: Topless on the Tail Of The Dragon
I looked to see if you had removed the roof from your truck. Like some people have done to S-10's.

Re: Topless on the Tail Of The Dragon
I thought topless truck and wondered (but found hard to believe) if you made your top removable or you were in some other vehicle. The other topless (*)(*) would be a bad day on the Tail of the Dragon... more vehicles over the edge than ever!

Re: Topless on the Tail Of The Dragon
I wish I was there. We would give them something to talk about. Just took the cover off mine this week. I want a personalized plate that says TOPLESS but Ky only allows 6 spaces on their plates.

Roadkill style engine cooling!
Love your truck. Glad you had a good cruise day.

Re: Topless on the Tail Of The Dragon
Thanks for all the compliments!! The rebuilt hinges actually showed up Friday. I dropped them off with the painter last night, so I should have them back and get the hood back on in a few days.

Re: Topless on the Tail Of The Dragon
Man, I love that stretch of road. Rode it several times on my Harley, but didn't think about taking the truck....hmmmm
That would be a road trip for sure.
