Plugging along real well for all the driving that I’ve been doing!

Re: Frankentruck

Starting off my two week vacation the best way I know how: a truck show!

I finally got a couple of my friends to bring their trucks to a show with me today. Went to the old Atlanta Braves stadium for C10s In The City and had a great time. Also included a couple pics of my favorite trucks from the show.

GranPanteraRoja’s 505 green 65 sure does make me want to repaint Frankentruck!

Re: Frankentruck

Frankentruck towed the event trailer to my car club’s show today. I absolutely love the 63 Burb. Makes me want one of my own some day

Re: Frankentruck

Frankentruck has continued to be my somewhat daily driver. Still been driving typically at least 3 times a week. On Thursday I went to pick up a trailer we borrowed and was considering trying to use Frankentruck to pick up dad’s new project. However, when I got home with the trailer I found a severely leaky fuel hose right at the fuel pump. Haven’t fixed it yet, but dad now has a 68 Cutlass convertible. Should be a fun project!

That Cutlass definitely looks like a fun project!

I think it will be!

We got the Cutlass in the garage tonight. It fits, but there isn’t a whole bunch of space. Thankfully, we can easily roll it in and out of the garage when needed right now

A huge car, but chic, your father has the right hobby.
