At the urging of my children, I bought a new home to help with the healing process. The plus side is its a raised home with 1800 sqFt of garage space.

This summer my son and I did get to work on a few other projects. I do hope to get going again on the PB frame build.

Here's a peak at what we have been up to.

Sorry to hear about your wife.

Big changes. I'm sorry to hear the passing of your wife. It looks like you are on a good track now though. It's nice to see you back here and posting too.

I'm sorry to hear about your wife. We've been missing you on the forum and it's good seeing you post again. Looks like you have had a few things going on to keep your mind clear. That VW truck is neat.

PowerdbyChevy79 · 10-23-2024, 01:14 AM

Any updates??

ChuckDriver · 10-23-2024, 10:21 PM

Progress has been made. Got the frame cleaned and painted with satin black spray cans just to give it a cleaner look. Swapped the fenders from my Red truck over to this one and bolted it all together.

But have decided to let this one go, so its listed on FB Market Place. Lots of interest, but its only been listed for 2 days. Hopefully it will sell soon.

I know you guys love pic, so here's a couple.

ChuckDriver · 10-23-2024, 10:23 PM

How about a few more.

**slammed57** · 10-24-2024, 05:38 PM
