You are one of those guys. Good job. Like you said motivation. I like seeing your truck and it took ten years. That is ten years of dedication. Not everybody has alot of time and money. But your heart is in it and look at what you built that is awesome. I hope you enjoy the fruits of your labor. And a few burnouts(ha ha)

72BlckButy · 09-24-2009, 01:59 PM

Wynne... that thing is gorgeous!!!

Awesome work my friend, awesome work!

nsuengineer06 · 09-24-2009, 09:06 PM

A few burnouts!?!?

He better lay a stripe from Monroe to Baton Rouge and dedicate it to all of us!

HuggerCST · 09-27-2009, 10:50 PM

Getting closer. Still have to put the bumper, grille, and inner fenders on, then a lot of cleaning, a few touch ups, and go over again to see how many bolts I forgot to tighten.

I want to drive it to a show in Natchitoches, La. this saturday.

KMACD71 · 09-28-2009, 02:45 AM

Very nice. Good luck getting it finished by Saturday.That's has to feel good after 10+ years.

VA72C10 · 09-28-2009, 07:49 AM

Looks awesome!!!

gcburdic · 09-28-2009, 09:43 AM

WOW Wynne....that is looking awesome!!!....Only 4 days left before the show....should be plenty of time to get your final touch ups complete....Go Wynne, GO!!!

gcburdic · 09-29-2009, 09:28 PM

Just checkin' in Wynne....no pressure here....don't look at the clock, but 3 more days!!!

HuggerCST · 09-29-2009, 11:38 PM

I've made a lot of progress. For the most part it is DONE! I got to drive it tonight and it rode and drove great, but had a dead miss. That was a bummer, but it turned out to be a plug wire against the header. I still have to buff a few places, wash it, fix the horn, fix the inner door handle on the driver's door, get the front end aligned, touch up a few places...that kind of stuff. I'm going to try and get a video and some better pics of it finished. Tomorrow I want to fill the tank and test the fuel filler.

VA72C10 · 09-29-2009, 11:57 PM

Congrats. Looking forward to more pictures and video and hopefuly seeing it in person someday.

glock35ipsc · 09-30-2009, 09:01 AM

Congratulations Wynne!!!!! I bet you are grinning from ear to ear! I know your joy, I've been driving the 85 non-stop since I got the 5.3 running and all the electronics working on Saturday.

Can't wait to see the video!

62 short step · 09-30-2009, 09:06 AM

Can't wait to see it Wynne!!

gcburdic · 09-30-2009, 03:32 PM

I know I was excited after 2.5 years....so i can imagine you are estatic!!!....

Wynne....it truly must be a sweet feeling after 10years!!!

HuggerCST · 09-30-2009, 11:48 PM

Thanks guys. Yes, I'm just as excited as you can imagine. Driving it is a blast, just as I thought it would be. I didn't get much done today, but I did get to fill the tank, and the fuel filler worked fantastic. Wide open gas nozzle was no problem, so that was nice. Sorry, I haven't had time to shoot the video yet. Never put one on the net before, but hopefully I can figure it out.

1956cameo · 10-03-2009, 01:29 PM

What a great build thread! That is one of the most beautiful trucks I have seen in a long time. I can't wait until the day I can get one to look like that. Congratulations!!!

nuke1 · 10-03-2009, 06:53 PM

Now that is one sweet picture, giving the beast fuel!

VA72C10 · 10-03-2009, 10:06 PM

Looks great. Glad the filler worked out. It's a beautiful thing when a plan comes together.

HuggerCST · 10-04-2009, 11:22 AM

Thanks guys! Still haven't been able to get any good shots or video, but My son and I went to our first show yesterday and got a sponsor's choice award. We were ecstatic just to be recognized out of a group of about 200 entries. Now I have to work out a few bugs in order to leave wednesday for Cruisin the coast.

gcburdic · 10-04-2009, 02:59 PM

Awesome job Wynne.....glad others see what you have done

....didn't know you'd look so cute in that little green dress w/ your son, so who's that guy you're standing with...the sponsor??!!!

Mordachai · 10-04-2009, 11:19 AM

congrats on being back on the road.
looks killer...

BACKYARD88 · 10-08-2009, 08:56 AM

Man that thing looks clean Wynne!

nsuengineer06 · 10-08-2009, 05:13 PM

Hey Wynne, my wife wants me to build her a sports car (which in my mind means muscle car), after I finish my 67. I'm trying to talk her into letting me build her a truck... Do you think this might help sway her decision?

Thanks! We saw and checked out yours too, and everytime I see it, I get the fever to do my Grandad's '53. I got a few pics at Cruisin the coast that I will post when I can.
