Today is the day.
A full engine rebuild along with a number of little jobs have put my ride in the shop for months now ...and today the cute little shop girl has confirmed to me over the phone that it'll be ready to go at 4pmET..
Will post pics soon as I drive it home!

Re: Today is the day.
Well, at this point, I'm hoping he just got seriously distracted by the shop girl, and not by how his truck turned out.

Re: Today is the day.
I'm way late!! Turns out that day was not the day. Tomorrow is!! Haha, seems like i've said it too many times already but I'll come through with the goods. Many photos will be posted, that is a promise.
I'll try to get a pic of the shop girl/boss's daughter too (she's almost as pretty as my truck).

Turned out there was some little BS that needed to be taken care of. I'm lucky this shop will not let me drive off without it being absolutely perfect. Will update shortly.

Re: Today is the day.
Good to hear you are OK. Sometimes you wonder when people drop off the board. Hope the shop hangups have been minor and you get your ride back soon.
