Project '64 Cheapskate

Tommy-
You're a man after my own heart! I am also one of those guys who looks at the small details. I especially love the cars that don't appear to have much going on until you look at them closely. That's why I'm a huge fan of Troy Trepanier's work. Everything on the car has been touched, but it's done so tastefully and subtly that nothing jumps out at you. I am a stickler about wiring, tube routing, and fit/finish. Flashy paint, giant blowers, and excessive chrome doesn't get me excited, but build quality does.

I have been in the aircraft industry for 23 years as a prototype technician doing both structural and electrical work. This truck build has been fun for me, but sometimes I have to put the "it's got to be perfect" thing aside and just relax. Even as a kid, when I was building car models, I was really bad. I would be doing the final assembly work on a model, and if I got one glue fingerprint on the finished product, I would either throw the model away or just use it for parts.
