Just wanted to introduce myself. Ive always dreamed about owning specifically a 53 1/2. Ever since I was younger building models, that was always the truck I wanted.
Some history about me. I had a 94 s10 that I modded like any good teenager with a job and a unmonitored savings account. I rodded it out as much as a late truck could be. I had impala mirrors, fullsize '70 tail lights frenched in, A 1960 aftermarket chrome steering wheel with wood rim, 1959 corvette window cranks all in a satin sealer finish. It was as close to a classic as I could afford. After losing my tail on putting money into it, I decided to be a bachelor and buy a motorcycle. I lived out that fun until one day I started pulling into my complex, a cute little brunette started backing out and almost hit me. I finally caught up with her and told her she owed me brownies or a date...her response 'I dont cook'. Well I got that date and 15 months later we were married. We have been talking about building a classic together and it always comes back to an AD Chevy. Stovebolt has been recommended by just about every site so I thought Id start my adventure here. Maybe in the next 10 years I can find that truck and start my journey.
By the way, that cooking part is true. We are still working to learn to get water to boil and learning that chicken breasts can be cooked using other methods other than the microwave. Haha.
Thanks.
