Tuesday afternoon I took a ride over to Wayne county to see "46 Burb's" (Jim Rutledge's) progress in person. I have to tell you it is a gorgeous work in process. The upholstery and headliner look great.

http://truck.jandcawards.com/ It was a nice country ride to get there. I saw alot of "old iron" along the way too. A '58/9 apache, an old studebaker P/U, and a '52ish F@rd P/U among them. Granted they're not all 'Bolts, but I figure if its older than me, it doesn't need to wear a bowtie to be cool.
Jim and Carol have a nice place there and they seem like great folks. They have an engraving business that they run out of their home.

Thanks, Jim, for your hospitality. When you get it on the road, the first carwash is on me... Sorry about all the drool!
