that's funny.

Are you going to bring your truck to the OKC meet the 15th of next month?

Not sure yet if I'm going to be able to make it. I'd have to trailer it up from Ada and it would be just the chassis. Maybe I'll be putting together the body at that time after being done from paint! You never know.

[highperf4x4]

Well if you can't bring it, just show up. Several people won't be able to bring their rides.

any paint updates???

[mcbassin]

looking good!

[ctrow]

Truck is still in paint prison. I'm estimating parole in 2011.... LOL

If I ever get it on the road I'll forget about all the bad stuff but some days, I wonder if I shouldn't have just bought a late model truck and modified it instead.

Man don't know how I missed your thread all this time. Looking forward to the progress on it. I know you're going through some issues with the painter, but I hope you keep plugging away at it. You've done so much and have a nice looking truck.

man we all get discouraged from time to time , thats why my build has taken 7 years (that and money) but when i get really fustrated i just step back let it cool off for a bit until i get the fever to hit it again... dont give up , it will be well worth it someday

Any updates on this .....?

[JohnC]

I'll post up somewhat of an update. Hope he doesn't mind. He talked to the painter, and got him to pinpoint down a date that it would be done, and put it in writing. So hopefully the painter will come through for him.

[ctrow]

Yep, that pretty well sums it up, playing the waiting game...

Due date agreed upon was Dec 1. I'm trying to keep optimistic but I'm guessing it will be settled in court in the end.

Im really sorry to hear that your having to go through this ordeal with your painter.... I hope you get your truck back soon!

Not that it will make you feel any better, but they owe me money here at the store too. If you need a hand anytime going down there just let me know.

LOL thanks. We're all in this together then!

I left them a message this week reminding them they had 7 weeks left and they never responded.

[gearys 5600]

Any updates on the paint??

[ctrow]

No update. Called him this week and asked if he was ready for the frame to do final fitment. He promised he'd be ready next week for it. Been trying to call him and he doesn't return messages or text messages. He used the excuse his phone has been messed up, but I reminded him he can write my phone number down, and call from a land line. And his shop manager has my number also. His response, yeah, I'm a dumba@@.

The due date is Dec 1. So hell or high water I'll be picking it up that day finished or not. I suspect it will require legal action to get it sorted out unfortunately for the money I've paid vs. the work completed.

I got them from street and performance out of mena ar.

Dropped the chassis off last week for pre-fitment but I don't think anything has been done to it. Called asking if we had the cab mounts which we left up there when we first diassembled it. Don't know if he ever found them. I've never had any expectation he'd finish it by dec1. But at least this time he signed an agreement back in sep it would be done by now. Maybe it was oct but regardless he picked the due date. Not me. In fact I gave him another month on it.

So fellas it looks like I will be driving it in primer or learning to paint inthe next few months. Maybe by summer if I'm lucky. My wife and I started the Dave Ramsey plan. If you know who that is and what, you know old trucks take the back seat !!! Lol

Thanks for everyones continued support...

My wife and I are doing that too. All I can say is "Keep at it", and pretty soon maybe we can afford the trucks of our dreams!
