Thanks for the comment on the "Vision". I also had serious doubts on the final outcome. In "my mind it looked cool". I had my initial rendering to keep me focused. I was just hoping it wasn't a brain aneurism or something causing this vision. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Meet Homer
I dont build my own but I do have a vision for what I want for each of them and am involved from beginning to end and if I could afford it I would own that one .

As to old Homer. I think he will make someone a dang good old truck. If not, I will just drive the wheels off of him. about done dropping the coin on him, so that's a relief. Anyhow, my friend, I do appreciate the kind words. I hope whoever ends up with him appreciates how special and unique he is.

Re: Meet Homer
Wayne, Homer is an awesome truck...wife and I love the rendering! I think the most important part of the vision in your rendering is your big grin driving Homer.
Good luck with the sale! He will make someone a good truck. |

Thanks for the nomination, but I think for the most part most think he's some kind of a "Frankenstein" truck. Ole well, I like him.

Re: Meet Homer
Hey Chris, I thought that was you (with someone else) waiting to cross University.

Re: Meet Homer
My response to questions about the tailgate would be, "it's custom, I think it fits the build"

Not too much to report on old Homer lately. Mostly done. Driving to the local car show every Friday night. Fixing a couple little items like radio, fuel gauge, etc. Hope all is well with you and yours (everybody who reads this). ![]()

No, not ready to sell the 63 GMC. Yes, it's pushed to the back burner again. I bought this motor and transmission planning to jump into that build. THEN, I found this really nice little El Camino. Figured it makes more sense to put the new motor and trans in something I will get to drive all the time as opposed to something I only drive on the weekends. Once I sell Homer I will start the 63 build at the same time as the El Camino. The 63 will be a couple year project. I plan to be driving the El Camino by the end of the summer or before.

Re: Meet Homer
First I want to thank all who voted for Homer for Truck of the month. Hard to be that old sack of lemons turned out nice enough to win. I am kinda shocked.
