Glad to see some forward progress on this thing. It all looks great so far!! Get it done before winter so you can bring it down here and we'll do some wheelin' while your buddies freeze back home.

Yeah, I knew I shouldn't have, but I figured it might be a good idea so the next time some one asks me if I want to sell it, I won't lose my butt. I've already had 2 guys try to buy it with the old cab on it and not finished. I might have to look at my vacation schedule and try to take you up on that. If not this winter, maybe next. I was planning on flying down to the good guys show in November, but IDK if that'll work out yet or not.

i mean put hardwood floors in youre house and youre 2000 dollar investment makes the house worth 6000 more , put 2000 dollar rims on a truck and its still only worth 500 dollars more than without the rims
there some exeptions like restoring some classics or verry rare cars but still.....
Yeah, very true. Once I get this one close enough to drive, and I get my 76 drive able, I'd like to sell the 76 because I've got to get on a house project of some kind.
