It kind of reminds me of going with dad to the barber shop. (The one who still used a straight-edge razor). There's a lot of history to learn, and so many stories, I lost count.

Either way, welcome!

I live in the "Lost Pines" of Bastrop county. I may need your fire truck some day(hopefully not)!
David | | | | | Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 85 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 85 | Ahh... Lost Pines! Beautiful country! Being a Hot-Shot driver I get through there from time to time... Hopefully you wont be in NEED of the fire truck, as 1: at the rate it is going it will be 10yrs before it goes anywhere... 2: currently it is in the valley (McAllen area) But... either way... I think we need to try to figure out how many "Bolters we have in the Central TX area and have a get together, if there isn't one already that I just don't know about yet... the map is kinda barren in this area! http://www.oldtruckstuff.com/rally/membermap.phpLaterz, Gator >|--|~ | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 166 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 166 | Welcome to the Bolt!

That's what I call dedication. Your '51 looks awesome! Looking forward to more pics. My tow truck is going to nickel and dime me(50's and 100's) for quite a while. I have it on an allowance. I'm 39, and my Father has owned it since I was 1, and did only maint. and few repairs. I have a long road ahead of me, but isn't it all about the ride? | | |
