Re: Restoring Rusty

Is there any chance that Rusty's new owner will be posting on this forum?

I told him the name of the truck and that there is a thread on this forum, his dad knew about this forum, he has a '69 dime, so I was happy it was going to a Chevy family, they also attend the Intervention truck meet.

Re: Restoring Rusty

Aw man, bums me out a little. But I don't mean to rain on your parade, or your daughter's. Good for you, not to be overly attached. At least I got one ride in it, but never with the new motorvation. Hafta save that chance for a ride in Busty ; )

Man that went fast but it was pretty rust free after you were done and the hard part of making it dependable was done

I know 73-87% of you were here for Rusty and not for me, but if you could show some love to Rusty's dad Dusty I think we could keep the pedigree going! [same bad humor and way more shady work]
