Ken, we're all family here and I wouldn't have minded at all but what Ken's talking about is: I got a Top 10 Pick from Classic Trucks today at the show...I was floored...my buddy Scotty has a killer 29 Roadster pickup and he also got a pick so compared to his ride I do feel blessed!

The truck is killer, hope she makes it to the pages of Classic Trucks or Custom Classic Trucks, and I can't wait to see Lucy in person on sat.

Congrats on the top ten! I wish I could make the show to see her in person. If you call Lucy a 20 footer, than my little red 68 is a 100 footer!

Here's a pic of my buddy Keith and his lovely red headed girlfriend rolling through the awards line at Goodguys.

Congratulations on a well deserved "Classic Truck" Top 10 pick.

Congrats in the top 10! It's cool to see truck projects on this board get finished, then get rewarded for the owners efforts (with the help of friends of course).

Re: n2billet's project 68 "Extreme Makeover" hot rod style

Hey Keith, thanks again for the shirt and hat and enjoyed hanging out with you and Ken (N2TRUX). Sorry I didn't get to stay to help you guys load up. To those of you who haven't had an opportunity to meet these guys, they are easy going truck lovers like the rest of us was great to meet them and make friends. After seeing your truck Keith and what you want for it, I would buy it in a heartbeat if I had the extra cash laying around. I will check on the 68 fender for you tonight and let you know.

Ditto Carlos! I had a great time talking with you and Ken.......Don't worry about the loading, it was a real circus trying to load 6 cars. The next time I'm in the Houston area lets all get together.......oh and get to work on the Blazer!!!!

I couldn't understand how or why I burned so fast on Sat.

Then.... I found out the medication I had been taking since Wednesday was what cooked me (it makes you sensitive to direct sunlight). Doh!

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I wondered what happened to you. I guess you got my voice mail. You missed out on a great lunch. The food was bad, but the conversation was great...

Great attention to detail is what sets the top 10 picks apart from the crowd. Congratulations on a fantastic truck.
