Home from Iraq!!
Well, I am home from Iraq, I never thought this day would come. It was one of the best moments in my life to see my wife and daughter on that parade field waiting for me when I got off the bus at Ft Hood.
Now the projects begin, the 1971 Sub is in full swing. Been getting up at 3am and going to my shop and working till the runt gets up and calls me for breakfeast. I will post some pics of the progress soon(my camera is on the ship coming from Iraq). Decided to sell my 1977 GMC truck to make room for more time on the sub. I took a few burn out laps in front of my house to make sure it was good before I stuck a sign on it(nothing shreads rubber like a 454). If anyone is in Central Texas or passing through on Hwy 35 and needs any help or just wants a cold "beverage" drop me a line and stop in. I am always happy to entertain a car guy or 2. Remember you only have so many weekends left in life, make them all worth living!

Glad to hear you are back safe and sound. I'm from Temple, Tx originally currently stationed in Fort Worth, Tx with VMGR 234 a Marine Corps KC-130 squadron. I'm down in that area all the time. You have any takers on that '77 yet? I might be interested, I'll have to come down and take a look.
Take care, Steven Quote:

Welcome back for a well-earned reunion.
We have a fledgling burb forum with a fairly small number of regulars. Hope you'll peruse the burb board now and then.And good choice on which of your vehicles to part with.

Glad to hear that you are back safely. I was over there at the start of the war (March) and got home in Aug of the same year. After all the family things were done..............I finished the truck.
