Looks great Mike! Glad to see you're getting to enjoy it. Do you already have some new wheels picked out?

**thelonerife** · 10-06-2014, 08:38 PM

Looks great! I think you did a great job on it. Are you staying with the rallies?

crazyjim · 10-06-2014, 08:49 PM

What kind of transmission does it have in it ?

Thanks Chuck. Yeah I'm sticking with the rallies until extra $$ are available.
I'm about to drop a ton of $$ on a new garage.

Page 100.....really? who would have thought that was possible. Long winded build for sure. Thanks for all the support along the way guys.

Don't forget to start a thread for the garage in Alt. Tinkerings-we'd all love to see it.

Thank you Low68.

Twisted78SS · 10-17-2014, 09:54 AM

Timeless look!

Well done, and certainly begs to be driven.. I wish you all the fun in the world enjoy it, and to offset all the work to get this far..

Hey thanks for the kind words and for checking out my long winded thread. It is so fun to drive. I look for reasons to run errands now

mcbassin · 10-17-2014, 10:07 AM

I forgot to post some pics. My ole truck took me to work for the first time last week. I had a crowd around at one point. Lot of positive comments. The truck is a blast to drive.

I also filled up with gas again with no issues, just put the nozzle on the first click and fill er up. Happy that turned out good. It may be an issue when I take the long haul, with some of those big nozzles other states have. I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

Mr Chevorlet · 10-17-2014, 11:52 AM

Nice truck, I am sure your glad the first run is over and all is good, now its fun to drive

Zoomin · 10-17-2014, 02:34 PM

It's really cool to see the truck outside of the shop instead of being in it.

tune_1 · 10-21-2014, 04:41 PM

Truck is looking really good in the pictures. Have you been able to check and see what kind of mileage you are getting with the new setup?

Dean'smeanmachine · 10-21-2014, 10:09 PM
