Sure, sounds like a good time. Been meeting a lot of local old truck guys lately.

In The Ten Ring · 07-11-2013, 12:45 AM

I ordered some parts I have wanted but really didn't need and then I found some parts I might really need but now will have to come up with more money!

It's a process.....

As for me, I decided to change out RAT's plates. She'll always be RAT to me. But, since she's in the paint jail waiting for silver, I decided to gowith this plate.
I ordered it. It'll look pretty close to this.

Of course, it's a play on The Lone Ranger deal.

magwakeenercew2jh · 07-13-2013, 12:17 AM

Here's the plate. And RAT..... with a paint job *close* to this:

Can't get a lower case "g" in CA.
