Thank you Jeff!

I don't think so!
If people can't appreciate the craftsmanship that is visible on the exterior, then they don't know what they are looking at in the first place.
Awesome job!!! And like Flip said, you are gonna fill a garage with trophies in no-time!!!
I am truly jealous!

Thank you sir! Much appreciated.

Today I went to Coker Tire Cruise in in Chattanooga. I was followed by a 1966 C10 all the way. We stopped in Chatsworth GA at an old gas station turned into a restaurant for pics. We had a good time looking at all the cars and such. every where I turned there were more cars. Also got to see the Coker tire museum.







Parked outside Honest Charley's speed shop



Stopped back by old gas station for their cruise in and to get a bite to eat.



Inside the garage area is where you sit to eat.

This is the longest trip this old truck has made since the resto 93 miles one way. Boy it like the gas. I'm guessing 12-14 MPG. While it did really good the temp got a little hotter than I like when I was getting closer to home sitting at idle and the electric fan was on. It's never done that before. I can't remember what Tstat it has. I'm thinking 180. With a lazer temp gun the oil pan was @260, intake at water jacket 195, Read hose 190-199. It drug a little when I started it right after I shut it off.


Then I noticed a missing spinner when I got home. I hit some pretty rough roads at spots. It must be on the side of the road.
