Thanks Josh!

Means a lot. I've followed a bunch of your builds, so I like that it meets your strict standard. I wish I had the that '54 you're selling. But I can't do the needed body work. Lol. I was stunned when I saw you were selling it.

Thanks a ton!

Thanks Andrew, I appreciate it

**nlped** · 09-09-2014, 03:38 PM

Nothing done to Walt, but I did play around with one of my other trucks and slapped my latest wheel aquisition onto it just to see how they look. It's amazing how a set of 22" Raceline Billet wheels can make an ugly truck look sexy

**nlped** · 09-09-2014, 03:41 PM

Also finally broke ground at the house for the new Shop...

Going from a little 24'x24' carport to a 50'x60'x16' building

**nlped** · 09-10-2014, 08:49 AM

After 6 hours with a BIG piece of equipment the hillside is getting close. Area may be what some folks would call, "ROCKY"

Low Elco · 09-10-2014, 12:42 PM

Daaaang! Congrats on the shop!

**nlped** · 09-11-2014, 04:39 PM

^^^Thanks... I'm stoked

More progress pics of the shop...and I received a tracking # for the PB rear trailing arms, that will complete my PB checklist

knomadd · 09-11-2014, 06:52 PM

That looks like a nice pad for your foundation. Color me jealous! I wish I had the land for a shop to be built.

**nlped** · 09-11-2014, 07:55 PM

It's going to be like a basement, but just the shop. Building it into the hillside to keep it close to the house, but also thought the style would help keep it cool/warm...or so I hope.

**nlped** · 09-12-2014, 10:40 PM

Off to Chattanooga TN for the Coker Cruise In tomorrow. Hope to meet a few fellow members and get some ideas for Walt.

**nlped** · 09-15-2014, 06:58 PM

My PB trailing arms showed up today... Looks like I have no excuse for for not getting started... But it's hot, so I will wait a bit longer.

Xeen · 09-15-2014, 07:01 PM

I wonder which is more exciting for you at this point the truck or the shop

Right now... The SHOP!!! Definitely the shop.

Xeen · 09-15-2014, 07:03 PM

I know that's right, I would be climbing the walls with excitement.

Very nice!
Did you get two small air tanks one for each compressor instead of one large one, from what I have seen that is the better set up.
