Re: A '54 named Busty

How do I say this? I hope you enjoyed the build and that selling it was the plan all along. That would make it a good experience.

And, maybe this means there is another project in the near future....

not all along but trucks are hot right now, and it is the Sellers Market, and God only knows how much money we've all sunken in to our projects, not to even mention time and effort, so for once I tried to do the right thing and try and recuperate some of those sunken costs

Re: A '54 named Busty

she went to a Chevy family not too far from us (will stay in California), the guy's wife drove her home with their little daughter in the passenger seat, brought back memories, Busty couldn't have gone to a better home

I sent them the link to this thread prior to making the deal, maybe they will keep it going
