Re: Marvin (1953 3100)

Well, I've been enjoying the good weather and putting some miles on. Marvin drives so nicely, it is almost hard to believe he's the same old truck! Plenty of power, sounds great, smooth ride, and solid handling. A/C has been nice too, with these recent warm weeks. It has been a dream come true to drive him around town!

You know what they say, a project is never really "done," and maybe that's true here also. Have had a couple gremlins to work out - squealing belt, leaking power steering reservoir. Those types of things will probably be a part of life this first year or so to get things really dialed in. Also, decided to add a pinstripe around the beltline of the cab, and I think it turned out really sharp!

I'm looking forward to the Goodguys car show in Des Moines in a couple weeks - will have Marvin there on the Saturday and Sunday of that show. If anyone is going to be at the show, please don't hesitate to come say hello!
