Pretty much. I've literally had no time to mess with it. I always have about 15 projects going on at once. Once we had kids, the free time for the poor Vette went bye bye. If it held more than 2 people, it might be a different scenario. I do have some stuff I want to change on it because I am seriously thinking of doing Drag week next year with it.

Yes sir. I doubt this truck will ever get finished. I have so much more I want to do to it and so much I still need to finish on it. I really should have left it in the shop until it was done, but it would probably still be setting there. I can't leave anything alone I keep getting told. I just got my 78 Ford D60 front for it a couple weeks ago so I can begin the parts collection for the front air ride. When that happens it will probably get a crew cab too. I doubt I can swing building another truck like this again. I have my 40 Ford to finish, and a slew of other cars I need to get built. Plus work and a few customer trucks. Blah, blah, blah.

I did use the truck to haul wood for 3 days and took another load of house construction junk to the dump. The next thing I have to do to it is install my trailer wiring, a brake controller, and ditch the little larry valve for a leveling valve. Maybe I'll get to that before the white stuff is flying?
