I'm glad to see a young man willing to work, but tell him to pull up those pants! He seems plenty respectful for a young feller who's dad was on the road all that time.

Now that is a nice collection. Excellent pic ... like has been said already, you set a high bar for the next person, whoever that may be. Only Leon will know

Well if he knows the person's board name and real name

Lanman1972 · 04-20-2016, 08:44 AM

So which one has Monroe chosen to drive to his next destination? He looks like a Hot Rodder to me!

35boulder · 04-20-2016, 10:45 AM

Very nice group you have there. No doubt you enjoy your drive time.

Thanks for already setting the bar too high

Thanks, yes I am working on a '70 shortbed, a '71 longbed, and a '39 "A" JD tractor.

He decided he would rather fly. He was in a hurry to get to a different climate....

.. You know how these "Jet Setters" are.

Well, I came home to a strange package on the porch today???

TexasLS1 · 04-22-2016, 08:35 PM

When suddenly!!!!!

flashed · 04-22-2016, 08:44 PM

Surprise ,it's Monroe .

TexasLS1 · 04-22-2016, 09:13 PM

No rest for the travel weary... I asked him if he wanted to help wash the truck since he did so well at his last visit, but he said he wanted to stay away from the water for a little while lol!! But he was eager enough to help bolt in the drop springs

I think he might be the driving force behind getting the rear finished on the truck this weekend!!

TexasLS1 · 04-22-2016, 09:18 PM

Silly chicken, get outta there!!

My daughter was at her mom's house this afternoon, but she'll be home in the morning. She'll be excited; I hope Monroe can handle 8 yr old girls!!

CG · 04-22-2016, 09:33 PM

Kids love playing along. I see his box is already showing wear and he's only on his second stop lol

Yes he did, thanks Leon. Looks like he had a great time at your place and even made some new friends who threw him a BDay party - some real party animals haha! We're a few hours away from your family in the Houston area, but we'll still wave

We'll be sure to show him some sights and make sure he feels right at home.

HE will feel right at home at the nearest drag strip next to some wood pines!

preferably ..home of formula drift.

He's hard to see standing on the hoods.

That's an amazing collection!

TexasLS1 · 04-23-2016, 08:32 PM

So we spent last night and this morning working on the truck - got the rear brake lines and hose in, springs on and tried to get the trailing arms to bolt up. Had to struggle with it a bit, and in spite of his chicken strength, we cannot get the driver side u bolt thought the trailing arm (I can't get the axle shifted enough for the bolt to drop in the holes). Still got a good amount done tho

TexasLS1 · 04-23-2016, 08:35 PM

Later, my daughter got home and we went decided to go down to the park for a walk

TexasLS1 · 04-23-2016, 08:36 PM

TexasLS1 · 04-23-2016, 08:38 PM
