Getting somewhere...

Well, the drippy rear special is starting to look like a truck again..
Ive had lots and lots of old cars n trucks, but have never had anything fight me like this thing!
Ive never had to heat so many bolts to break them loose...

Im sick of the damn thing already...

But its getting closer.

Hoping to drive it to a buddys cookout sunday. Then pray that it gets me the 180 miles to Goodguys columbus the following weekend...

Re: Getting somewhere...

Thanks..
I have the stuff to bag it, but with this truck I have more of a shoptruck feeling. So went that look.
Wanted to have it one color by ggs but may leave it patchwork for now

Re: Getting somewhere...

Grumpy, just think, when you have replaced all those nasty bolts, you wont have to do it again.

I usually get a feeling about direction when buying a new-to-me car/truck, but this one changed a few times, but always came back to static shoptruck...so here it is..
