Thanks Strodder I appreciate it and hope I can finish it right.

I'm sure you will with Alan's guidance.

So today I went to Knoxville Tenn and bought me this 66 ..........

Talk about 1 foot in the grave.I have a lot of work to do on mine. At my age, I hope I live that long.

BTW, Nice Chevelle

I thought I would post some pictures on the progress of the truck. We got the windshield in and the new vent windows. I've been switching the v pulleys over to the march aluminum serpentine pulleys and we got the bed in. The wire harness is pulled through most places just need to finish that up. Brakes are just about all hooked up, put wire looms on, ran transmission cooler lines and it seems like a lot more but that's all I can think of right now.

It's a big relief that Alan is just down the road from me. I'm sure I'll be giving you a call in the near future.
Thanks again Ronnie

Tom your welcome........ I hope you enjoy your new truck, I'm going to miss her

congrats on the purchase, I saw the truck a couple years ago and it is slick

and it looks as though it found exactly the home it deserves so it will be finished to the standards it started at, great work.

tshaw · 06-21-2013, 02:19 PM

Thanks guys I appreciate it. I'll post more pictures as I get something more visible completed. I'm waiting on a part right now that has me stuck in neutral.

Tom any updates, give me a call.

tshaw · 10-24-2013, 12:51 PM

Hi guys, well we almost have it finished. Just have to get the exhaust finished, ac charged, lots of polishing, and I'm waiting for the fuel tank sending unit to come back from being re calibrated. Took it out for a test drive the other day and wow Ronnie's engine builder did a great job. Can't wait to take it for a longer ride.

Glad to hear you're almost to the finish line! That's a beautiful truck for sure. Thanks for taking time to keep us updated on it. You gonna take a spin by Ronnie's shop & do a smokey burnout to make him regret selling it?

tshaw · 10-24-2013, 01:10 PM

Now that's funny!

aggie91 · 05-02-2013, 02:15 PM

Congrats on the purchase, Tom. I noticed it for sale the other day.

Welcome to the forum. You wouldn't happen to be from Longview, TX would you? I had a Tom Shaw work for me at my previous job and he moved out the GA area.

tshaw · 05-02-2013, 02:30 PM

Thanks guys, no I'm originally from IL on the border of Iowa.

I have to be honest I was nervous about buying the truck just because I am afraid I'll screw it up. Alan and Ronnie have done incredible things with this truck. I have a hard time with patience but I think I'll have to learn some on this.

likaroc13 · 05-02-2013, 02:20 PM

Congrats Tom, You got a killer truck! And welcome aboard. Looking forward to seeing it finished.

Thanks Alan, I know I'm going to be busy in the month of May with kids graduating, baseball, soccer, etc. (I have 5 kids) But I hope to get started soon. Just glad it made the 2 hour trip unharmed.

Alan's Classic · 05-02-2013, 02:45 PM

Patience is a virtue with any old vehicle. When you find yourself getting getting mad just walk away and come back with a clear mind. Remember to breath.

Good advice Alan, I appreciate it and look forward to meeting you someday. Do you go the the Riverstone cruise in?
