    Well, YES!, and eventually a picture with a bunch of third-graders around it. Oh, wait a minute, they might touch it somewhere... never mind.

    That's another reason why I painted it myself~ Touch it, lean on it, sneeze on it, and I just KNOW someone will door ding it. No big deal~ ;)

    Before my team went 7-0, (barely) I got my eyes back in my truck.

    And then~

    I also got the driver's side yellow stripe done and listened to a little pregame show while grilling some chicken to take to my mom and dad's to watch the game with them. What a game! And now the Colts are ahead of the Broncos? Could this day get any better?!?!? :D

    A lot of fans are like that~ Can't say I blame them when we were as pathetic as we were last year. :(

    Thanks, Brian! I have the brake lines to run still, some wiring to hook back up, and then it's time to get that old 228 to come back to life! I'm thinking I start with a new gas tank!

    Many thanks! :D

    So all you have to do to get those Texans to start winning is repaint your truck in their colors, right? No big deal~ you obviously know how to paint... :rolleyes:

    Man... that truck sure looks great, Paul. Thank you so much for sharing your updates and photos with us. Truly inspiring.

    Congrats to the Chiefs on their season thus far. And Nate... Go Cardinals!!! Hoping we can finish out the World Series with three straight wins in St. Louis.

    Thanks, Damon! I'm looking forward to the days we get to play the Broncos. Oh MAN will that be fun!
    Thank you! I love being able to sit in my truck and look back out over that hood and fender again. I've <never> looked out over anything as smooth as this rig has going. ;)

    The End

    Well ;

    Over 40 years after I left Boston , the Red Sox won and in Fenway Park no less .
    :D

    Sorry I've not been here much of late , my pinched neck nerves are really bad again so I can't read , sleep , work etc. much .

    I wish I could find a Neuro Surgeon who'd cut me , I'd rather die than go on like this .

    What a bitch ~ my birthday is Monday and I oughta be out riding my Moto :mad: .

    A new look~

    My dad and mom are downsizing their living quarters and moving into an assisted living house. Someone cleans their house once a week and they get to eat lunch at the big house every day. The best thing is, their (brand new) home doesn't have one step! No more walking across ice or snow before I have a chance to go remove it.
    Anyway, my dad had a bunch of car and airplane models that I just had to take off his hands. He had a model that I was always surprised he built, knowing his distaste for zoom-zoom.
    It had some snazzy wheels on it that fit under the truck model perfectly. I'm now thinking it's a good look...
    See why my build has taken so long? :rolleyes:

    As my truck sits, my daughter grows...

    By the time I have my truck rolling, my daughter will be ready to learn how to drive. Hmmmmm....... :D

    1. Zig, the truck model is very cool. If we had video, I'm fairly certain we would be hearing motor noise and screeching tire sounds.
    2. How cool is that... your daughter learning to drive your cool ol' truck. My son says by time my truck is drivable, I'll be so old, he will have to drive me around in it!
    3. Time is FLYING past guys our age!
