A Quick Flash Forward - Significant Milestone Achieved

I know this is going to take my story "out of order" as it happened, but this past weekend was a huge milestone for me and the truck so I thought I would share the news! yahoo

Here is a link to Dan's Truck posted by my buddy Steve (KCMongo). I posted a couple of screen grabs form one vidoe of first drive below. Several pictures you may have already seen, but there's videos of the truck running and driving for the first time in about 13 years - Woohoo! grin Needless to say, my "grin meter" has been pegged since the first drive on Saturday. I got to do a second drive on Sunday while me and members of the Genuine Chevy/GMC Truck Club of KC did equipment prep and loading for next weekends 51st Annual Show-N-Shine event.

The truck isn't up to the long drive to make its own way to the Show-N-Shine, but maybe we can find a way to get it there to show it off. Brain cells getting burned up on finding a solution to that idea. grin The truck currently remains a temporary resident under the gas station awning at Steve "KCMongo's" shop awaiting my return to continue more work to make it road worthy.

I will get back to "original story" in the near future. In the meantime, hope everyone enjoys the pics and videos! thumbs_up
