Gearhead, Moderator for The Swap Meet and General Truck Talk
Alvin,
After you get back to the house and get yourself settled and recovered, drop me a PM. We can swap numbers and I would be glad to help you out. Works best if I can talk your through the process while your actually doing it.
Thanks to you and all the Southern Bolters for sharing this experience.
Looking forward to talking with you as you can work it in.

The " Best of Show " Truck was really no surprise, the craftsmanship in this build was exceptional. Every part of this truck was finished to the highest standard, every gap was spot on, the paint was flawless. I'm sure it was built in a professional shop.
