    Let's see more! What, did you take a lunch brake? Looks like your almost ready to go! I on the other hand have a lot to do to get mine ready. See you in two and a half weeks!

    I had the pleaseure of putting a couple of hundred miles on this Bad Boy coming back from Vegas last weekend...from the Drivers Seat. This truck is completely BAD ***! We went 1,000 miles round trip, without a problem. Even in pouring rain for most of the trip. To me, It represents what Hot Rodding is all about, the open road, your favorite soda in hand, and Parents and their Kids breaking their necks to get a better look or a photo. You did a fantastic job on the rebuild and all the upgrades.

    P.S., 59d looks good in my garage.
