You know Jim,
That’s one heck of a compliment coming from a fellow bolter doing what you have done and show us ALL in your shoebox. your sons and you are a great team. WOW
is what I can say. I'm re-doing my wife's truck on a shoestring of funds and YOUR project and picture book are even more complete than mine or most of what I've seen over the years. I've been watching yours and others, and of what I can (there's a lot) see there are lots of fabulous guys here that have a multitude of great ideas.

This site (thanks peg and john) allows us types to do this, have fun and teach others, which is why you and I enjoy our time in the shop. I've had a couple guys say they wish they had done their trucks now (these days) w/ a (hotter) straight L-6 rather than a V8. I state my thoughts and show what limited work I can do sticking w/ an L-6. ALL of this has/is a fun project.
thank you for your kind words
Ps, Caroline still doesn't know about the heated seats yet.
