The truck came out super. Your motivation touched many of the viewers. Congratulations on winning an award. So cool!
 
Wow Skull! Congrats on the trophy, and that's a great looking trophy to boot. Hope you are driving the truck a lot and enjoying it......someone is smiling down on you, I just know it.

Love that middle pic......that should be your new avatar [cl

drivin' her

Snake Farm; Ya been driving the truck a lot ?

driving her every chance l get:D

going to longview, washington this week-end for a 3-day show. not putting the truck in the show but will drive her the 250-300 mile round trip. the show has cruisin' around town and encourges people to drive.

miles vary on which way l go down and back. the scenic route adds 50 miles.

Bonehead; Congratulations on a cool truck. Nice to see you get the recognition you deserve.


thank you, Bonehead,

but not just me:eek: A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE HELPED THIS HAPPEN.

a lot of them right here, you guys kept me motovated and pointed in the right direction:D

then my friends raggin' on me to get her outta the back yard and then actually helping to do her with me:D

l was humbled, awe struck and speechless when jimmy's truck won that award:eek:

Later:D
 
This build is a great story right here. Glad it's getting the recognition it deserves and your having good times with it.
 
I'll second that one

just imangine one of the best feelings ya ever had, like the first time ya rode a 2 wheeler, drove alone the first time or that first real love,,,,,that's as close as l can describe it.

if'n l lived closer, l'd come help ya throw that beast together:D

Got to drive mine for one day this week to get all my vin paper in order. several years of hard times just melted away and nothing mattered:D
 
Special!

Love the dash, Skull. All of it is just really special. So happy it all turned out so rewarding for you (and us). Enjoy.

Lynn
 
youngest son

thanksgiving was great. my other son came over and for the first time seen the truck since we finished it. he hasn't been home a year.

he and Jimmy was really close and his brothers death is still hard on him.

So we were talking about life and stuff, then he asked me when he gets to take her home:rolleyes:

l told him that when he gets a garage to keep it in and owns his own house, l will sign her over.

l figure that gives me about 5-8 years.

l can't think of a more deserving person :D

by then l should have at least 2 other rods running(l hope:eek:)

Later :cool:
