When I put my Tempest in shows, it is the old folk that look at my car with that far away look in their eyes....and it is always a similar story....they had one, or dated their spouse in one.
Usually a very magical moment between them and my car, and I get to witness it, but more importantly I get to supply that for them.

I think it is great that you show it.
Mine will be in shows when I am done, and again it isnt about "winning" but the showing and the talking and the friends I have yet to make.

I salute you man, good looking truck !!!

Thank you sir. I do take it to shows and yes...I get alot of that too. At this particuar show I was amazed at how the younger generation admired it.. I don't get that much from the younger crowd. I just didn't build a "Show" Truck... and no offense to those that do. I just build my build my rides to drive my rides. Thank you for the kind words sir.

The truck looked good, and that picture of your friend and truck could have been an ad. How about a picture of what happened to the truck.

Yes sir... heart wrenching. I thought I had deleted all the pics from the accident, but I found this one. A few fellas on here wanted me to post pictures... and that's the one I have. I am in the process of rebuilding it now. Slow painful process.

You can build it again like your doing now and do the things you wanted to last time and didn't. I'm sure there are a few things that come to mind. Just happy you lived thru it.

I know if I had mine to do over I would redo a few things that I wish I did the first time.

I had not seen your thread before saw it just now and started from page one. Was looking forward to seeing where things had progressed to... Very sad to hear what happened to you and your truck. These trucks become part of us when we put so much blood sweat and tears into them... I feel your pain, and wish you well.

It's part of The Game I know and love so much and honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. This now gives me the opportunity to do things to her I wanted to do in the beginning, but could'nt. She will have a different look... That's for sure!

Stay tuned...
