Longhorn Man · 10-25-2004, 10:32 PM

69chevygirl sounds like a heluva woman...my to-be-ex woulda yelled and complained for a month if I did that.
Well, I'm exadurating...but she'd mention it when ever there was any kind of stain in the carpet.

A 69 big block 3/4 ton....good paint color choice too, not one you see enough.

I do...if I took off my shoes in your house...you'd ask me to never return again.

J/K...many do, many don't. depends on how long the carpet has been down mostly.

longnlow72 · 10-25-2004, 10:42 PM

i almost always wear shoes in the house my family thinks its weird

kingsolver72 · 10-25-2004, 10:43 PM

Do Canadians ever wear their shoes in the house?

*1972C10* · 10-25-2004, 10:48 PM

Whats Shoes?

Spoof · 10-25-2004, 10:51 PM

In Canada it's very rude to walk into someones house without taking your shoes off. You just don't see it happen. I cannot relax in my house with my boots on, funny.
Lets face it, with the weather we get most of the year taking your shoes off is pretty much mandatory. I bet most of our neighbours in Washington state take their boots off too!
Any hoo, great pics. I bet your treating those fenders like a newborn baby! Please keep them coming, and be sure to let us in on any assembly issues or tips you discover.

Mudder · 10-25-2004, 10:53 PM

My wife doesn't care..........Oh that's right I don't have a wife..

Brainchild · 10-25-2004, 10:55 PM

I couldn't get by with that,but great pics

cant wait to see the finished product.

Don't wear shoes in the house,I don't like them that much anyway

Longhorn Man · 10-25-2004, 10:56 PM

That's what I'm talkin about Mudder!

69chevygirl · 10-25-2004, 11:01 PM

I hate wearing shoes and rarely do, barefoot is the best. My husband always yells about it he hates feet. Especially if I go in the garage or outside and track dirt back into the house. I do know some people that need to keep their shoes on though!

The truck's original color was turquoise (511) so we went with a pearl turquoise. It looks more blue in the pics but changes depending on the light from blue-green. I'll have to take the credit, since I picked it out.

He's probably going to freak, since he hates his pic on the web.

kingsolver72 · 10-25-2004, 11:08 PM

When my wife takes her shoes off in the house its ON!

68w/sbc406 · 10-25-2004, 11:56 PM

i am wearing my shoes right now. they keep my feet warm. nice pics, glad to hear that a woman will let truck parts break that outside door barrier

Joe67 · 10-26-2004, 07:29 AM

LOL great pics

Blue Beard · 10-26-2004, 08:09 AM

Never rebuilt cars in the house...

Did however rebuild my Triumph Motorcycle in the dinning room.

Swbman · 10-26-2004, 08:25 AM

Way to go Mudder67, You can get a whole lot more done when you are in a comfortable place,and you can't get any more comfortable than the living room.

*Gee_Emm* · 10-26-2004, 09:17 AM

I have truck parts in almost every room in the house. Even had a couple tailgates in the spare bathroom for a couple months. I have had my newly painted inner fenders in the living room for the past couple weeks. I got now other place to put the stuff.

You have to take your shoes off in Canada, you can't have snow all over the carpet all the time.

TugOwar · 10-26-2004, 09:27 AM

I LOVE that living room Mudder! Thats a place a guy could feel comfortable, have a beer, watch a game, or do some wrenchin.

Once my boots go in the morning they don't come off until I'm ready for a shower in the evening. But then snow isn't a concern here either.

kingsolver72 · 10-26-2004, 09:36 AM

I go in people's houses everyday and no one ever says a word to me.Oh,maybe thats because I'm a carpet installer.

TsgtE662 · 10-26-2004, 11:15 AM

Mudder, if you put the tailgate across two of those tires you'd have the perfect coffee table. Or a nicely stained piece of wood on top of two tires. One piece of wood on one tire for end tables.

My wife won't even let me put die cast cars/trucks in the livinroom. At least she doesn't mind the Eagle statues. She still won't go for the Mossy Oak curtains or bed spread sets either.

I usually wear my shoes in the house, the wife and the daughters usually don't. They go through alot more socks than I do shoes too. They'll even walk outside in there socks and then complain that the ground is too cold or their socks are dirty and stained.
