    You're gonna make me commit, huh? OK, it will be a daily driver when the temp is 72 degrees, humidity is 65%, no chance of rain and the moon is in the 7th house and Jupiter is aligned with Mars.:D

    The first run I plan to make is to Bill Hanlon's house. He's about 7 miles from here!

    Seriously, my goal is to get Dad's (God rest his soul) last project truck done and driveable, then either do another one that is 100% daily driveable and fun or drive off into the sunset in this one!

    Great STUFF!!! I really like the panels. By the way, must be NW FL with all the fish being carried by a "fishhead". Just so you know, "fishhead" is a term for us locals in these parts.
    thanks for the great pics!!!

    Your 2nd Run

    Your 2nd run should be to the court house square in Liberty, bring Hanlon, we'll park 'em three in a row and put on our own afternoon truck show.

    I know a place where we can get a fairly decent burger while we are there.

    Man, that aggie/wine color sure looks good on that truck. You named that truck yet? We outta have a truck naming contest for Kens50.
    :rolleyes:

    She's looking mighty fine Mr. Ken. You havta drive that truck some, people have to see these trucks, they just don't get to see real trucks unless we get our trucks out. Just don't drive it in the rain on the Gulf coast.

    I'm game.

    Any ETA on getting it to Tomball? You are going to drive it down, aren't you?

    Mine has been out in the rain every day this week.

    Ken - first class job. Congrats on nearing the end of what I assume was a long road. More pics please. How much do you have left to do? Looks like just the front tires. :)

    Ken,
    The truck looks great. I am glad you have it close to road ready. Is it still in Tennessee or do you have it home now?

    Great job Ken!!!!! Love the color! It's almost the Cape they use to offer. Stories Like this give me hope to get mine done although I expect it to be a few years from now.

    Awesome job Ken,
    The grill looks great! You redo the original or buy aftermarket?

    Wow I didn't know it was THAT far along. You must have been talking about your first texas cruise, cause I know the first tennessee cruise will be with that sweet momma of yours then Sarah will have to go ride in it, then maybe a third for me. Looks great Ken, can't wait to see it.

    It's the real McCoy!

    Bars were rechromed a few years back and painstackingly re-assembled!
