looks like it was nearly finished , too bad you didnt held on to it .
then again my father used to own a first gen corvette (you know the ones with the white sides the teeth in the grille and the 6 cylinder ) my mother made him get rid of it when she got tired of having two kids sitting on her lap , that car wouldve been worth a fortune now

all it needed was a new dash pad and to fix the AC. otherwise everything else was NEW. that and a new motor after I did a little sat night drag racing with locals and started a knock.. that's why I traded it off.. guy came to me with a custom slammed El Camino and I took it. DOHHH!!! LOL

Looks like a nice truck John.

bigbadjohn84 · 07-20-2009, 11:10 AM

man I had so many countless hours and dollars in that truck! makes me cringe when I think about all the hard summers of work I did to get it there as a teen.. phew.. miss that truck.. but I have another one now

gonna be even better knowing what I know now we learn from our mistakes

Yeah you'll always regret selling that truck. I feel the same way on my old one, but take the enjoyment of building them and having someone else enjoy them too. That's the thought I kept having. I never really understood why my uncle, and cousin could build these awesome cars, trucks, and street rods, and then just sell them. Then my uncle told me one time that his enjoyment is watching the car transform from start to the finish. Then when it's done he gets bored with it because he wants to work on something else.

bigbadjohn84 · 07-20-2009, 11:33 AM

you see.. great minds do think alike. now if the rest of the world would follow us John

I hate to think that I'm qualified to be a leader!

If that's true then look out!

And, of course, more $...but you can't take it with you and your kids will just throw it away on some old truck or something.
