What am I doing
Hey guys, I wanted to post a photo of my restore project. It is at this point that panic starts to set in. WHY IN THE WORLD DID I START THIS PROJECT? WILL I EVER FINISH? HOW MUCH MORE WILL IT COST? I could be fishing. I guess it is a labor of love. My son sure will be proud when I hand him the keys and it will all be worth it. I'll post more photos next week.

I have been "playin with" that old longhorn for 20yrs ....its a labor of love for sure! you should have seen the look on that 18yr old kids face when i hand him the keys....i went with(dont let the old truck out of my site). the 1st couple times he took of from a lite, he lit the back tires& said Dad , i didnt mean to! ok kid, i told him just be damn sure you dont step too hard going around a corner.....unless you like doughnuts real well!
Im in the same boat, im not sure where the money ends on some projects.....but what the hell, you cant take it with you  have fun, burn rubber....crazyL
