I have had it about 2 years and just got it back from body and paint and now I am going to reassemble it this winter or how ever many years it takes. haha Here are some pics of her if you would like to take a look at her and offer comments. I didn't know what to put up so I put them all up. I am sure I will be asking for advise as the project goes on.

I'm not sure but I recently had problems with a link to my Flickr site too. Or it might just be an error. Either way,I look forward to seeing your truck.

You should check out his FINISHED TRUCK pictures on his Flickr account. The truck really looks great. Now we just need to get the update from him to go along with the recent photo!
