That's a great story, Alan! And what a great truck!
Everyone is right ... it don't matter how long it takes -- if you finished it too soon, you'd be jonesin' about starting another one anyway!
I remember the day mine got delivered to me in Central Jersey from Humble, Texas ... man I was so excited and happy I coulda burst! I had one neighbor ***** at me because the truck was loud and I revved it up in front of his house late one night. But then I did him a big favor and he smiled ever after.
You're gonna love every little thing you do on this truck, Bro'! Every improvement is such an exciting experience it's just unbelievable. I'm finally getting around to doing some interior work on my '54 ... nothing original -- all custom stuff by yours truly. I bought a moose hide and started covering my '75 Cadillac steering wheel -- check
This out.
