Very cool man I dig it. You can drive the hell out of this truck

Thanks guys. Really been putting in the hours to get this truck done right.

Thanks to the help from my wife we were able to get the seat back together and looking good. Couldn't have done it without her. It turned out great other then the sideways picture, lol.

That seat looks really good bud! I wish I had more skill with cloth n such. But all I'm good at it burning metal...

Thanks. Well we all have to be good at something. This was my first attempt at doing seat upholstery work. Just took me about 2 months to work up enough courage to go for it. I think it took me about 8 hours to do.

Well for a first time, You killed it bro. Keep it up your almost done!

[builtbyKane]

Almost got the interior back together.

Same pic, just tried to rotate it and failed miserably. You guys will have to just rotate your screens, lol. Down falls of phone pictures.

Truck is drivable now. First road test soon!

Truck did great just a few small corks to work out. Unfortunately this voyage went straight to storage while I work on another truck for the winter.

I know, but I was running on fumes so I hit the closest one to my house and just put a couple gallons of 93 in it. It definitely felt great to be behind the wheel again. Also wasted no time to turn those tires over. It wanted to run!

Went out today to see how Double Tap was doing in its winter home. Battery was dead. Oh well, hopefully I can bring it home soon.

"Don't look at me like that". I knew I shouldn't have looked back before shutting the door.

Yes, I know. But I promised to visit every other weekend. Just doing a complete paint job on a family members truck and looks like it could be a time consuming job.
