Re: It's Begun...

Cool, does the truck go with a paint job? Wonder if you could wheel it at Rausch Creek? LOL

Zackly.

All of today will be 'packaging' everything up and having it ready to go @ 5:00am tomorrow morning for go time.

Here's a tip for others selling a project like this or maybe just hind sight on my part.

I "should have" assembled this truck to at least the point of where it is now for shipping, I've had to spend HOURS getting this truck ready to ship out.
Had I "done that" prior to posting it up for sale it could have, most likely would have sold it easier, being it looks a lot more like a complete truck.

Moral of the story for me...quit giving your labor away for free dummy!

Words of wisdom.

How long of a drive do you have ahead of you?

Do you have a co-pilot or are you going it alone? That's a lot of drivin' for one day. I did the same thing (6hrs. each way) when I picked up my tub.
