Great progress! ... and a fine fine wheel choice if I do say so myself (jealous)... Love those Billets and the Strikers from Raceline are another of my favorites.

Thanks, you will definitely be happy with them if you choose to go that route. Nice choice on the 402 as well. Unfortunately it will be a while before I get back to this truck. To many things going on with my family right now.

Sup buddy .. Check in and let us know your wheels, .. Um, I mean you're ok ?

Bennett68C10 · 11-01-2012, 10:42 AM

Thanks guys we are ok. I have had no power or heat since Monday and supposedly arent getting it back for a week or two. No flooding at my house since I don't live right on the water. I have no cell service at my house. Had to go an hour away just to get some service. Spent yesterday cleaning out my parents house as they live on the water and had 2 foot of water and mud in their house so it was a mess. They got really lucky by not having any structural damage but we are in a major cleanup. I will post some pics when I get power back. My truck will be on hold for a couple of weeks until we get my parents house back in order. I'm sure you guys have seen the news, this was a nasty storm that devastated alot of people. We are very fortunate that all we have is a cleanup to do.

As long as everyone is safe going to take a long time for that area to come back. The Sea Ray site I am on posted pix of the damage to the boats and Marinas in the area it is devastating to see.

etindoll · 11-01-2012, 11:48 AM

Glad to here you all are okay. Hope things get back to somewhat normal soon.

raull · 11-01-2012, 11:07 AM

CC69Rat · 11-01-2012, 12:05 PM

Yeah it's pretty crazy when you see 30 to 40 foot boats just sitting in the middle of major highways after the storm.

It's all good Chad I know you were just joking. You had me laughing when I read your post and honestly we need a little bit of humor right now.
