Re: Built not bought

People ask me all the time if I "restored" my trucks myself, and I tell them they aren't restored just nice drivers. I guess there is a certain pride in taking a turd to trophy truck all by yourself, which I can appreciate, but we all know most people nowadays are full of BS anyway. I did the whole start with a frame, find parts, ect thing, it just takes too long and usually never gets finished, 17yrs for my first restore and sold it at 95% finished (when my family was younger). I like to purchase clean, turn key trucks in original paint or one repaint so if I did decide to restore, I'm not dealing with a pile of crap. I guess I like to preserve them rather than restore.
Don't need to Pat myself on the back, look what I did, and more importantly don't give a shyt what people think
