Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew

Reeeeeeeeelaaaaaax, man! Very simple line, that you gotta draw. Driver, or show truck. Yeller was built to be a driver. Yes, it's nice. Yes, even people who know what the hell they're talking about say it's nice. But it ain't no show truck. Because there's NO end to that bit. None. Refer to Superfly Steiny/Cloud 9. Hell, Losh is just scratching the surface. Wait'll he starts on the Blazer. Nuthin' wrong with that, but you ain't gonna jump in Cloud 9 and run to Lowe's, or chuck a set of wheels in the back and go get tires swapped. Yeller has a set in the bed as we speak. Best car advice I ever heard is, formulate a plan and stick to the plan with a few minor deviations. Scope creep is a MF'er, and will leave you with a truck you have a fortune into, and you can't drive! Yeller is costing Boppa $100/mo, and will for the foreseeable future, because it turned out so nice that Momma said that the bass boat had to be in storage, because Yeller was coming inside, no discussion. Anyway, don't beat yourself up. Do the best job you can, clean it all up and make it nice, but don't crucify youself over small stuff, 'cause that knocks the fun right out of this deal. Now get back at it! Go to the paint store and ask for the Lord brand sealer that fits in a standard caulk gun. Comes out kinda buttery and tan. Great stuff. Relax and enjoy your build!
