I gotta say I am jealous of that A&W cruise they have... Maybe someday me and the old girl will take a ride out west and drop in on one, it's only a few thousand miles round trip!

Thanks Cubber. Sometimes it will be in spurts, I am putting together all the pieces for a front disc brake upgrade with drop spindles and the works.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread

Great build... I love the buddy buckets, air cleaner lid and engine. You are doing an awesome job. The A&W cruise nights remind me of the "good old days". Back in the late '60's, all the cool rides circled Jim's Big Burger and the local A&W. Fun stuff!

Thanks for the compliments Pop. I really enjoy those Thursday nights at A&W, good times with great people. That's what it's all about, right?

The trucks out here are awesome and the company is even better. Can't wait for the Turlock swap meet at the end of the month.
