Re: Project Vitamin C-10

Alan, I spent the last several weeks reading your build (from page one). It was an awesome read. I love what you did with the truck. That dash rocks!

Thanks for sharing your life and your build with us.

One question, will you paint the steering wheel or will it stay black?

Richard, thanks for taking the time to read my build. It has been a long journey. I do plan on painting the steering wheel a combination of orange and silver.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10

My first attempt at a sign board for car shows. It's nothing fancy. I did it in Word and saved to PDF for the printer to print on a big board. It's not what I had in mind but close.

If that relates back to Facebook, I think I know what he's referring to!

Alan, if you don't know about it, check [url]retailmenot.com] for coupon codes you can apply online or in-store. Might be able to save even more on those boards. Lots of retailers on there to search through!

Thank you for the link. I'm sure will come in handy.

You are correct is was related to my FB comment.


Here is the FB comment I posted.

Quote:
This will be my last trip to this first Friday cruise in downtown Canton. There is a different group of people that show up. Us car guys take great care of our cars and keep them shined up. I have never seen so many people that had to touch, lean in to show something to someone. No damage that I know of, but plenty of finger prints and armpit juice. I left early mainly due to that fact.

I had 2 different people say "I see you added AC". Really that's the only thing you could come up with. Truly not a car crowd.

I might go back just to visit, but the truck will stay home.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10

Seems like allot people are just clueless even if your standing there with a bottle of detailer spray and a micro cloth wiping up after them. I put some polished stainless steel rail caps on my box, and if you touch them it leaves oily finger prints all over them. It's the first thing they want to touch and I can sure understand your disdain over people being slobs about it. I laughed about the armpit juice comment but seriously don't people get it?..Vernski

I didn't know I was either.

I did get interviewed by a guy that has a youtube channel about local show coverage. He high lighted my truck and interviewed me about it. The video isn't up yet. Once he post it I'll review it and if it turned out ok I'll post a link. Want to make sure I'm not a total dork.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10

Here's the video that I mentioned. I wasn't much of a salesman. Maybe next time.

My cuts didn't make the first two videos on YouTube. I emailed him and ask if they ended up on the floor. So he did this one. I was the last film of the day. Maybe it just got overlooked. Yeah, that's it.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10

Cool video! It wasn't bad. At least you know what to expect next time. Even celebrities gotta start somewhere.

Although I've seen pics before, it's funny because with the beard you remind me of a skinnier version of my father-in-law. He does body work/paint on big rigs for a transportation company.

Wow. I've honestly skimmed through your build several times 180 pled pages is a lot
But I have to say. Seeing the walk around, you can see all the attention to detail. Great job, very nice truck!
