I've had it long enough and now it's someone elses turn to enjoy it. I can now finish my '42 Chevy pickup that I started a few years ago. Gonna be wierd walking into the garage and not seeing my '45 sittin' there. Maybe the new owner will pop in to the Stovebolt Site.

Good luck, Rob | | | | | Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 | Glad you got a fair price for it, your 42 is gonna be quite a bit different than your 45! Looks like you did a nice job putting it together.  The guy that bought it, is he local? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 1,464 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 1,464 | Man, selling that beautiful '45 must've been like losing a member of the family! Looks like the new project is going in a different direction, is the '42 going to have "Stovebolt" power?? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 553 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 553 | I keep telling myself that it's someone else's turn to enjoy it but I feel like I'm giving up one of my kids for adoption. My son and I brought this ol' jalopy truck back to it's former glory. Who says trucks don't have personality? The guy bought it lives about 30 miles away, so it's nearby. Maybe I can have visitation rights. Now it's on to the next project.......... | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 283 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 283 | John, I looked carefully at your truck - you did an amazing job - the new owner is oh so lucky. Looking forward to seeing your progress on your new project. The new owner of your 45 should feel very fortunate.

And now to the next project. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 793 Bondo Artiste | | Bondo Artiste Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 793 | Been there done that. I sold my 52 GMC and now I'm onto a suburban project. Sometimes it is better to just move on and not think about it too much.

It would be nice to get in touch with you. Please contact me at [email protected]. I find kind of difficult corresponding over the website, possibly because I am new to it. Hopefully this will be working. Thanks! | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,440 Bolter | | Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 7,440 | Renzo, steppenwood has not been on the site in 4 years.
