After a long winter (and for some of you, perhaps a few years of it) of wrenching, welding and knuckle-busting hard work, it’s now time to update your Gallery page. Peggy says that she now has some time to put them in there. So this is your chance to update pictures and especially the text to your page. Remember, the more you tell us about what you've gotten done, tried, added, taken off -- the better it will be for who are searching the internet to find you! Perhaps this may be their hope or encouragement for what THEY are trying to do, too.
That’s how I started the last time and it didn’t really work out the way I had planned it. It didn’t work at all.
We have about 11.000 members and only ±1.600 Bolts in the Gallery. Some members have two or more Bolts (some have six or more!) in the Gallery. So what's happening to the rest?
Not done yet? No problem. Certainly, you’ve seen my pile of rust and rotting wood. There is no way that yours is worse than that.
Getting sick of it? Happens all the time. It is kinda natural for humans -- disappointment after disappointment will give you the idea that you have to give up. STOP! Get away from it for a month, a year if you have to. Start at the other end and work from there until you’re back at that same spot again and fix it! We have a few in the Gallery who have been working for ten years ... but they finally get it F I N I S H E D !
Running out of money? Happens all the time, too. I have no idea how I’m going to pay for anything. I’ll work around it until I do. I keep my eyes open for possible solutions and I’ll get Truck’26 done. I still have 20 years until she’s 100 and has to be on the road again.
How old is yours? Oh, then you got some time left
In the meantime, get some pictures together and show it off as it is now. I already won a Stovebolt prize with the first pictures I took of it. We don’t need a complete book, just some lines will do fine. Have a look at this one.
Gallery You can do that!
Hey, the Stovebolt is about sharing and fun. Share some pictures of yours and make this the biggest gallery of vintage GMC’s and Chevy’s trucks there is or ever will be.
Thanks
Richard
