Wild! I was just telling my wife about this truck and then you update! I am so jealous! What a nice truck. Makes me want to just give up on mine and do what you did. Oh well. I guess mine will just be a rat rod.

Solid progress. Good to see an update.

**lks dcvn** · 06-20-2023, 02:58 PM

Milestone reached...first hit of color. It's pretty amazing how the same color can look so different inside/outside/shade/sunlight.

Gorgeous. I don’t think I ever saw the late ‘23/ early ‘24 updates. If all that’s left is bolting it back together, you’ll be driving it this summer!!

**72ironmike** · 04-05-2025, 11:46 AM

Lookin Good. You are gettin there !

**lks dcvn** · 06-01-2025, 07:08 PM
