Cool Matt!

Thanks Brent. I'm really looking forward to the day I can get behind the wheel and drive that truck.

Cool project, Matt.

I want to restore a vintage car one day. I'm not going to start from scratch, hopefully, but buy someone's failed dream where they got like 90% done (and done it right).

Thanks buddy. This will be a long project, but worth it.

This was my late fathers 65 C10. Wasn't really nothing special when he had it and drove it, but it is to me. It was given to me also on my 16th birthday, though I have never driven it. My brother had hit someone and it was parked from around 1991 till two years ago when I moved it.

I set sail to get this restored about two years ago and that guy fell through, but he did keep the truck in his shop and also hauled it around to a new guy (once found) on his rollback. My mom told me she'd never see that truck on the road before she died. I was trying to make that happen, but that obviously didn't happen, though my drive is still there to do it, for both my Mom and Dad.

The guy that's penciled me in about that time is now ready to take this on. I wasn't "ready" to this, but it's now or never I feel. I'll feel so much better once it's done.

Got the call from the wifey to come pick up a new kitchen table she just bought. Didn’t know we were in the market for a new table. Funny how that works.

Well look at it as putting money in the bank on your end for that next Egg-related purchase.

She thinks everything I buy is crap and I feel the same about her stuff. We have a “don’t ask don’t tell” policy here.

Golden beets cooked in the Instant Pot, boneless pork chops on MiniMax, rice in the microwave, and Shiner Bock while I tended the egg. Nice evening all around, beautiful weather here. Thanks for looking.

Love the circa low 90s glass cookware (Visions or something like that?). My Mom had a set of these that she loved.

The done right is the hard part. There’s a lot a half azz work out there. When I bought my car, my FIL said I had two options when the car arrived. Either trust that the work that was done previously is right or do it yourself and live with peace of mind. I choose the latter.

You got it @JRWhitee! You can certainly get that ride, hopefully next year!

Guy that's doing the word does great work (that I have viewed). Now, he's not a Chip Foose, but does good work. He does body work at Richard Childress Racing currently.

His recommendation to disassemble the whole thing and start from there was an indication that he wanted it to be done right from the get go. Most just blast with all body parts on.
