A year ago me and my dad nearly burned up his clutch pushing my 1937 1.5 ton into my garage. The brakes were stuck the engine didn't run and all the tires were bad.

Today I drove it out of the garage into the sunshine. Its still not ready for the road but I have a limited budget. I was really excited and had to tell folks who might understand.

Congratulations! What an amazing feeling it must be. I think with a restoration, it is all about the journey! You will have mamny more great moments along the way.

Yep, one of the coolest days in my life was pulling my truck out of the shop for the very first time.
Great day, glad yours was too.
Congrats.
