likaroc13 · 09-11-2010, 10:36 AM

if i recall correctly, i told you a long time ago to let me know if you ever decided to sell that thing

of course, it wasn't something you wanted to get rid of at that time....i have since moved on though

the truck does still look really cool...one thing that jumps at me is the killer patina...what do you have in store now that you have it back?

Dinos63 · 09-11-2010, 11:45 AM

THANKS DUDES , MY PLANS ARE MAYBE TO DRIVE IT THIS TIME

I MAY FIX THE ROOF IN THE FUTURE,BUT REALLY I LOVE HAVING IT BACK

markeb01 · 09-11-2010, 07:23 PM

It looks in remarkably good condition considering a tree fell on it. Those shots with the tree on it are heartbreaking.

If you love something let it go, if it doesn't come back...
It was never yours.
If it comes back, it's yours forever... LOL

I've seen that rig before always liked it... I think it's a keeper!!!

I talked to Borris at a GoodGuys show about a month ago about that truck. Then a couple of weeks later he brought his 61 to a local show. Both trucks are killer! Now I'm really itching to finish mine.
