47-55.1 Getting ready for a car (truck) show

[TX3100Guy]

For those of you that have read my posting thread on eliminating the draft tube and or chasing a coolant leak, the truck is getting close to finally being done. This past weekend my sons helped me re-install the hood that has been off for nearly two years. Both inner fenders are mounted and this weekend the two outer fenders will get installed. I have signed up to take the truck to three different car shows (May 17th, 24th, and 31st) here in the North Dallas area.

My oldest son has been in the advertising business for 20 years as an Art Director told me I needed a sign to display along with the truck. He designed it with little input from me and its off being printed now. It will be a 2 foot by 3 foot sandwich board (A-Frame). Here are the two sides that he designed.

Despite never having given any of the nearly 50 cars I've owned in my life a name, this truck is special enough to me that I had to give it a name. The paint is called Jungle Green and the name of the guy who passed away and started this project was Jim, thus "Jungle Jim"
