I have benefitted immensely from the photos and postings of others, it inspires me to return the favor when I can.

For anyone just starting a build, I highly recommend getting any affordable digital camera and take lots of photos, and most importantly – take a bunch when first purchased and before anything is touched. Too many times it turns out there are no “before” pictures at all, making it difficult for others to appreciate how much work and talent have been invested, or just to remember what it used to look like.
I lost a couple, very special photo albums in my divorce. I feel your pain.
I would like sometime to sit face to face with you and talk cars and trucks since we seem to have much in common.
Maybe I will get a chance to cross, "travel the perimiter of the U.S. in my hot rod" off my bucket list and drop in on you.
My crazy plan is to go to San Diego, travel north to Washington state, east to the U.P. of Michigan, down to Detroit and then up to Maine, down to florida and back across to Arizona. And all in a car or truck I built from the ground up.
All cool cars there friend... Now if I could just talk you into putting an old Iron Indian motor in that GMC of your's... wouldn't that be something??
