Re: First Day Out

BEAUTIFUL TRUCK!!! I wanna see it in person. I see Fruitand Park is only about 10mi. from The Villages. Any chance of an appearance at the monthly show there? I took the cop car clone to a nice show there a couple of years ago.. nice location/good turnout. I'm near the Space Center, about a 2 hr. cruise over for me. I have friends in Gainesville and Ocala that go to the show every month.

ps... it's THIS Saturday

I think the design of these trucks are beautiful, that's where I got "The American Beauty" from. And Rose came from the cover of the Grateful Dead "American Beauty" album.
There ya go MusicMan

That was smoothly put; perfect; just like the truck. That would be a neat logo/print to strategically place somewhere on the truck. Maybe not out on an open panel, but perhaps hidden somewhere. Thanks for sharing the Inspiration for your GMC.

Re: First Day Out

That truck is amazing and I am loving that old school feel with the paint. Something about those 4 head lights on those GMC's. Enjoy it.

I don't think the windshield will be back in until monday but my place is right next to The Villages and I will be at the next show, lots of high end toys there. If you want to come over PM me and we will meet somewhere, I would love to show this thing off in person.
