Your a fine gentleman for taking care of Bob and putting that smile on his face, can you imagine the memories. That color combo is outstanding. I'll bet there are guys on that other forum that are just ……… themselves!

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
 

I do Appreciate your comments I’m making some memories of my own thanks to Bob
I stopped by Bobs today the only sibling left is his stepdaughter she doesn’t come around to often Bob says she lives out of state. He told her he went for a ride and she said when she visits she wants a ride too.....she has never seen it out of the garage so I’m continuing cleaning and shining ....makes my day this is a once in a lifetime rewarding experience thanks for letting me share

Jesse, That Old girl really shines, nice work.It is a rather different color scheme, but it does look nice together.

Are all the mechanicals working?

Now back to your truck lol

Looks like you got rid of the snow tires

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
 

Yes all mechanicals are working just waiting for NJDMV to send me the title work.I keep cleaning and replacing anything that’s suspect when I get it properly registered Bob and I go for another ride. Then I park cover and get back to the truck:)

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
 

Jess, the wagon looks amazing, really coming along. The truck build is also looking really good. Here is a pic of the 55 wagon I bought in Jan.

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build

Good turn out for a cool day in november, my wagon cleaned up pretty good. Im not making a project out of this one just making HIM safe and drive. Happy holidays to you and family ....please if you come up call and lets get together....

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
 

Its been a while since I made any progress on this build. I have been distracted with the 55 wagon. Yesterday I shuffled the deck moved the frame into the shop and the wagon into the house garage. I plan on finishing all the plumbing and exhaust and have the cab mounted engine and trans operable by spring time :waah:

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build
 

Project looks great Jess, should b an exciting spring.
When u get a chance, drop me a PM on the cover u have on the 55, would like some info on it.

Thanks
Scott

I bought these from another board member a few years back :waah:not sure why they were to long maybe they were for a different application ..... so I P- coated them ( HOME CHROME :) ) after we finished............ ill get them back together tomorrow and update ....:)
