Re: 68 project
Good afternoon guys, I am hoping to get back at it during my Christmas vacation and prepare to move her back home after the first of the year. Sometimes life just brings us some unexpected hurdles.

Re: 68 project
I sure hope whatever the event was it didn't set you back too much Larry! Always enjoy seeing your posts and I know how much you want your truck done.
Glad to see you back here and hope that signals that the "event" is in the rear view mirror! David |

Re: 68 project
I had noticed you weren't posting lately and was hoping all was ok. If you need any help moving your project back home let me know.

Re: 68 project
Unfortunately it is far from being in the rear view mirror and has just begun, not sure where it will take me financially now that I have assumed all our assets including the new car I bought my wife. The unfortunate event is a seperation, my wife walked out on me after 15 years and I just went out and bought the Camaro. So now I have all monthly bills the mortgage and 2 car payments, thank God I make a decent living. So I am not really sure where all this will lead to but it is a lot of major adjustments mentally, physically and financially. But I will pull through in one way or another. I appreciate you alls concern and offer of help and may need it before it is over.

Re: 68 project
Just let me know if I can help somehow. We all need a little help every now and then. Saw the Dixon Custom Cabinetry truck the other day. Got by me before I realized what it was. Take care.

Re: 68 project
Hey Larry, I'm sorry to hear that man! I'm to far away to just drop by, but if you ever do a planned work day/weekend, you can bet your a$$ I'll drive over and help. I figure after all the dealings we've done, I'm good for a road trip...but I won't go through Atlanta & sure as He77 won"t be stopping at IKEA...

Re: 68 project
I really like your build! I haven’t read the entire thread, can you tell me the paint color and brand/type on it. I love the contrast of colors.

Re: 68 project
No real updates today, actually have not even touched the 68 in 3 months about time to start hitting it again though, I feel the urge to get some more progress on it, my mind just has not been into it tbh. it will be relaxing to play again though
