grandson

AWESOME DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jimmy's son, my 9 year old grandson, showed up from florida today

l was in the process of building the truck when he left. he'd sit in it pretend to drive when it was in the garage in pieces.

today was the first time he saw it since finished. he loved it. we went for a ride, so cool to have my grandson in my son's truck. his and my smile was ear to ear.

Later

looking back

l was looking back over the build thread and it is really interesting to me what the idea and vision was when the truck started. the changes and decisions made during construction are interesting to me.

from the idea in my head to reality and in the way some things l changed is drastic, some subtle, but worked out good.

people's choice award

l took the truck to the high school skill center car show today and won people's choice for best classic

the irony, the "TROPHY" is a complete car care kit, brushes, wash mitts, soft cloth, special soap and wax..my friend's thought the award real funny,

gotta love your pals

I'm guessing what they see in it is 'you and Jimmy' and who wouldn't like that

Love those Tech Center shows. I have a good friend who has taught auto body for going on 30 years and their school has a show every spring. No other local show has the same flavor and I never miss it. It's next weekend and I'm ready.....too bad the Willys is not Will have to take the 'shiny' car I guess

'tooned

everyone, l have to say a BIG---THANK YOU! to Harpocat for 'tooning Jimmy's truck.

it looks awsome.

plate

l got my license plate on,,,,

licensed as a classic today so never have to buy tabs again

l had a pile of old plates and went thru them and found the perfect one,,,

UN 1548

15 is the age of when Jimmy died,,,,

48 is the year of the truck,,

weird l had that plate laying around,,

l think it's a perfect fit for the tribute truck.

Later

Nice plates

height difference

check out the height difference

Harpocat sure did a awsome toon. [cl

T-shirt

one of my buddy's suggested l get a T-shirt of the "tooned" truck & wear it at the car shows.

l really appreciate the drawing Harpocat did, l agree it's awesome
