Re: Restoration insanity

I am retired and it took me 27 months to complete a truck. Well if you call it complete, lets just say "running and driving." I have a full machine shop and the tools to do most anything but paint and body work. I have a lot of resources outside my shop, like the right guys to go to to get a quality job done without getting taken in the process. After it was "Running and driving" it cost another $550 dollars for a dyno tune. Could have mail ordered it. However, this tune if for my combination and my truck. Runs like it should now it was untenable before the tune. I kept receipts but never added them up. If I was to sell the truck I likely wouldn't be upside down. However, it I counted my labor it would have to sell for six figures and I would still be working for $5 and hour. I can call it my truck my way with my colors and amenities. I don't know of another that has a powder coated 4L60E!
Likely the truck will go to my Grandson. I can't put a price on that?
Daily driver in the background. Guess I like them short!
Cheers.
