Man I love working on this thing so much. I guess the thing that I enjoy the most is seeing the progress. Taking something that is sitting in a junkyard and bringing it back to life is just the tops for me. This truck will be rusty and dented and rough when it gets back on the road. But it will be back on the road. Alive.

One day I'll be able to teach her to drive it. She's got a beautiful 35 Massey Ferguson, so she's got the basics down with shifting gears, but we'll have to transfer that knowledge to the column shift. After we get it roadworthy, I know she'll want it to be pretty again so that will make me learn how to make pretty welds, and hopefully how to paint.

Usually it's junk trucks or tractors I've drug home for me that I'm working on. Having this be her truck just adds a whole 'nother level to things. She's so happy and she hasn't even driven it yet. I love everything about it.
