Re: Danny Boy is BAACK! w/ '55 Big Window
atta boy!!! Don't ever feel that your truck isn't good enough for a show Dan. You've done a lot of work on it, you drive it daily and should be proud to show it off. REAL cars guys will appreciate your efforts and will pick up on the pride you share in it.

Re: Danny Boy is BAACK! w/ '55 Big Window
Ok, so here are the few things I'd liek to get done on the truck before the show:
Finish the interior speaker hole repairs, sand/prime/paint door interiors, install door weatherstripping, install 3 pt. seat belts, R&R seat for temporary recover, install Lokar floor shifter and new tranny cover. Not that anyone will notice the difference but it sets goals for me. |

Re: Danny Boy is BAACK! w/ '55 Big Window
Oh I do, and I agree.
It's just that shows are full of guys that know exactly what these truck CAN be made to look like. I'm sure I'll enjoy the show. I'll be walking around so if someone says something I wouldn't like about my truck I won't hear it anyway! lol |

Re: Danny Boy is BAACK! w/ '55 Big Window
Dan go have a good time at our age who cares what anyone thinks. I say if you can drive it thats what counts! I see kids with rusty rat rods true Americana and I think thats cool they are enjoying a hobby, and they ain't blowing people up at marathons.

Damn dude, that's cold! ![]() ![]() June 30th means I'm NOT going to get much of anything more done on my truck. I've gottas go help someone move up in Central Cal the weekend before and I still have my camper to wash this weekend (it's like washing a friggin HOUSE!), cover, etc. I was kinda/sorta hoping to go to Pomona on Sunday too. I may have to skip that. Oh well, I'm gonna put a sign on my truck that says, "YOU made me bring it!" |

Re: Danny Boy is BAACK! w/ '55 Big Window
Dan, drive it man. You might be surprised at how many people walk past the show trucks to look at yours. There are a lot more people who can identify with a daily driver than a $100K show truck.

Re: Danny Boy is BAACK! w/ '55 Big Window
Hell, I'm thinking of loading my truck on the trailer and taking it to a show in 2 weeks, and its not even running yet. It's all about getting there and talking with other car guys and ladies.

Re: Danny Boy is BAACK! w/ '55 Big Window
It has been ONE month since I posted below.....
I think it is great that you get to drive your truck while working on it! I dont think Im ever gonna get the cab back on mine, with 3 young boys (4,6,8) it is nice having the "helpers", but then there is ball games, throwing the ball in the yard, helping them with whatever they think is cool at the time, and oh yeah did I mention I have a wife too!! I THINK I am finally done with the frame/chasis. Time to drag it out in the driveway and clean up the shop, put the cab on and get to repairing the sheet metal!! I need to quit lurking around on everyone elses build thread and start my own... or at least work on my truck!!!! |
