Thanks Mark and Rob.
It's pretty cool when someone asks if you built it and you say yep every nut and bolt. |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Took off work today and got the truck aligned then took it on a 150 mile cruise. Drove it down by the lake then Norman, OKC and Bricktown. Had a blast driving the truck it runs great. The truck rides pretty good and has no problem accelerating up to highway speed. The A/C and cruise also work great. Very happy with everything so far.
Ignore the layer of dust. It needs a good detail Alignment shop Down by the lake Norman train station OKC

Thanks Steve. We need to hook up for an informal bbq meet or soemthing before the weather turns bad. Or you are always welcome to hang out at the shop after work any time. Thanks Dwight. I think I could take off and drive about anywhere in it now. |
