Thanks for the compliments!

Oh, I forgot to mention that the owners have decided to not sell the truck!!

[MalibuKasey]

Im glad all my prayers were answered on the selling thing! Though I can understand sometimes life gets tough.... but thats one truck you could NEVER replace!!

Thanks! Here's some shots from the Fathers Day Show today.


Pulling out early this morning.




Parked beside an older brother at the show.






And a shot of a CJ-7 that I painted that debuted at the show.

Thanks, I'm glad we have this forum for sharing our builds! Though my own truck would be finished by now if I didn't get sidetracked by all of the "inspiration" on here that's made me change directions on the build.

That is so totally me too !!
I have an entire folder full of pirated photos labeled either by the mod, or by the thread they came from so I can go back and read the "how to" again.

If a thread is updated, I will read it.... case in point !

Thanks dudes! That's a good idea McMurphy, all the pics I've saved are jumbled up and it takes forever to sort through them.

***Pic links are all fixed and linked to photobucket now so they shouldn't disappear anymore.***

Fantastic work! I bookmarked this beauty.

It's now one of my go-back-and-re-read every few months rotation. Thanks for all of the details that often get overlooked in the translation from in-shop to in-forum!

[88Lt1wagon]

Wow, truly outstanding build, you are blessed

[Ericluther]

Wow very impressive bud!
