Re: boyd coddington,s upolster quote .......
This is just my two cents on earlier posts about people who have trucks built as opposed to building them. AS for people with money lookin down,I may be an exception but i'm just a country boy who lives in the house he grew up in. I envy the guys that work on their own trucks as my health won't allow me to.[I have over the years built a 51 deluxe,a64 impala,67 chevelle and a 67 panel] However the fact that I turned a wrench and engineered sheetmetal for a major cooling tower company for 35 years has allowed me to retire at 53 and do it with a boatload of cash. When I first got my truck it was a 6cyl 3ott with a 4:11 gear
with a front tag that said "BLU MULE" [still her name today] I always wanted my old truck to be brand new and now she is ! . I don't have a lot of expensive toys but i do have my truck and all the guitars i want to play. Please don't lump us all together cuz like i said .Im just a good ole boy with a good retirement plan...
