Re: Raymond
Ok... She is DONE!!!... Well almost... LOL... Papa J has made its way back home... we actually have it completed enough to be able to enjoy it this year and make a "FEW" shows... I really do not see us making more than 3-4 shows this year at the most with all we have going on in building our new house and working...
It STILL has to go back to Chris Carlson's Hot Rods... The AC does not blow cold AND I can't lock the drivers door... I just don't understand why people can't do their job right the first time... this will be the 3rd time trying to get this right... I was told that it will be awhile before he can get it back in... He states he kept pushing my truck forward around others to get it done... I can tell you he sees this a whole lot different than I do... I know of 4 cars that were put ahead of our truck because they had "Car Shows" to get too... I am just getting frustrated having to have thing redone... Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy...

That said, once things get ironed out and every journey is an absolute blast, you forget all the hiccups. And in your case, Papa J's backstory alone makes the long hard slog worth it.

Re: Raymond
I saw this on another truck on this sight a few years ago... Tried to get info from them and they just clammed up... So I just turned the concept over to the shop with some pictures that I uploaded and they went to work...

Re: Raymond
Papa J got some different shoes and socks... These will be used just to give it a different look from time to time... I will run the Whitewalls for the most part... but it does give it a total different look...

Re: Raymond
Thanks Mike... I like the T-Thrust also but the whitewalls are just different than everyone else...
We were at a show over the weekend and it seemed like half of the cars/trucks had T-Thrust on them..

Re: Raymond
That's the exact reason my wife says she "hates" those wheels. I keep telling her they're on so many vehicles and copied by so many companies because they look that good! I like them both but I'm more of a muscle car guy so the redlines and Torq Thrust's are my favorite.

Can't go wrong with choices. You don't wear the same clothes every day...

Re: Raymond
Hey Dan, wheels and tires look sharp. Although, from my PPoV, the look is either "old school" or "REAL old school".

Re: Raymond
Papa J had a good 1st indoor show... We attended the Devlin Cars For Charities show (former Starbird Car Show)..
We picked up 3 trophies and one of the 3 was very special... That special trophy was awarded by a young man of about 6 years old... He and his Dad go to the car shows and the young man awards the car/truck the he picks as his favorite of the show... out of appx 400 cars he chose Papa J as his favorite of the show... He is a picture of me accepting my award from him along with my other 2 awards for Sponsor choice and the KKOA award for their choice of the show...

Re: Raymond
Way to go, Dan! All the hard work and anguish you endured during the build sort of fades away on days like these. That hardware will look great on your shelf at home.
