Low Elco · 06-08-2016, 12:46 PM

I really don't know... I don't own a trailer so getting it there is a real problem... Cash3481 is loaning me his trailer to take it to Lake Afton this weekend and I really hate to ask him to use it again next week... Also next week it is going back to the shop to get the wiring, A'C, Fuel and Brakes done on it...

I will be at the power tour though ... We are volunteering...

Elliot949 · 06-11-2016, 08:42 PM

OK... we have it looking somewhat like a real truck... we are loading it in the morning for it's first outing... it is one of the Featured Trucks on the T-Shirts and Dash Plaques At the Lake Afton Car Show...

Bennett68C10 · 06-12-2016, 09:35 AM

Wow, she looks amazing! Awesome job!

Actually Mike... This trucks vision in the beginning was BLACK... Almost every vehicle I have own in my life is black and my dream truck was Black with "Black Chrome Trim"... But in the End something just told me to do this... I can honestly say I am not sorry... Every time I walk out to the garage I just get a big grin on my face... Thanks for your kind words... Dan

Are you going to go with the thin whitewalls still? I think they look great in that last rendering picture you posted.

Actually these will be coming off and painted wheels with 39 Ford Trim Rings and Dog Dish caps are going on...

Low Elco · 06-13-2016, 08:02 AM

Cool! Holler if you see us in Yeller! Vic will be there in his Challenger.

jeh · 06-13-2016, 08:28 AM

Looking good!!! I really like the steering wheel. A lot of time and hard work is finally paying off.

**Vic1947** · 06-13-2016, 05:59 PM

Great progress, Dan. I know you're past ready to bust off the motor and take it out for a shakedown run. Much work to do yet but you're kicking tail, buddy!

You and Vic are welcome to come down to the house and see it... I am not taking it back to Carlson's until maybe Friday... unless you guys want to stay over and wire this thing and install some Vintage Air???... LOL

Low Elco · 06-15-2016, 12:37 PM

He!!, I need someone to finish installing MY Vintage Air! Thinking of going to Carlson's open house, might not have time.

You should have went to Carlson's open house... there was a great car show there alone... I saw a 67 C-10 that was from Tennessee that the guy is doing in Metalflake... it was cool as hell...

Elliot949 · 07-05-2016, 08:44 PM

I think we made a good color choice on our truck opposed to original... LOL... Just my opinion... I could be wrong... LOL
