Thanks Josh!

Means a lot. I've followed a bunch of your builds, so I like that it meets your strict standard. I wish I had the that '54 you're selling. But I can't do the needed body work. Lol. I was stunned when I saw you were selling it.

Thanks a ton!

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short

Nothing done to Walt, but I did play around with one of my other trucks and slapped my latest wheel aquisition onto it just to see how they look. It's amazing how a set of 22" Raceline Billet wheels can make an ugly truck look sexy

After 6 hours with a BIG piece of equipment the hillside is getting close. Area may be what some folks would call, "ROCKY"

That looks like a nice pad for your foundation. Color me jealous! I wish I had the land for a shop to be built.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short

It's going to be like a basement, but just the shop. Building it into the hillside to keep it close to the house, but also thought the style would help keep it cool/warm...or so I hope.

Re: Walter DeWayne...Walt for short

My PB trailing arms showed up today... Looks like I have no excuse for for not getting started... But it's hot, so I will wait a bit longer.

Very nice!
Did you get two small air tanks one for each compressor instead of one large one, from what I have seen that is the better set up.
