@ olezippi - Wow! That was a beautiful truck!! If I wasn't obsessed with patina I would have loved something like that (and blue is my favorite color).

I didn't realize how long it had been since I checked in. I've been busy with work (the Christmas rush started early!), and working on Bruno when I can.

I got my doors back from the artist in Ellettsville and I couldn't be more pleased! I'm going to paint all four rims green (when I got him only one rim was) & distress them. He'll be my rolling advisement. 😊 I was super stoked to find a gentleman who had several hubcaps (I had two, and I need five total). They all cleaned up pretty well! I've spent about 7-8 hours underneath, cleaning, and about 5hrs cleaning and applying POR-15 to the front half of the frame in the last week. We're currently trying to remove the bellhousing and flywheel from the old seized-up 216 Babbitt.

That's about it for now. 😊

You can't buy happiness but you can buy a truck ... and that's pretty much the same thing.
