Never,never ,never keep track of how much truck restoration costs . T hat would be almost like a business. That would be almost like work . At work you cannot consume frosty beverages at the rate prescribed in the previous posts .

 

They must be.people of very small stature.

 

Actually they are of stout body with long necks. They don't stick around long or talk much, but they always cheer one up!

 

You should get them 24 at a time, more friends is always better.
On another note, I got a tarp! I am ready to start!

 

My tarp has a few holes in it....come to think of it, so does the 30pack, all the beverages seem to fall out somehow. I don't know where they go? maybe evaporation?

Well actually I prefer just one big friend, his name is Cornelius!

You just got a tarp? Heck, I have plenty of them, only I refer to them as roofing material.

 

Ya know - I've never met a small person after they've had two or three beers

 

This is the best thread I`ve read in a long time.

 

Cheers!

 

A frosty beverage or more really helps with the planning, take a step back, and take a look and decide to make changes. No wonder it's taking a long time. 'coulda done this or that different'. Anyways I quit buying beer, well, ...store bought. I make my own beer now five gallons at a time.....got more money for the truck...bwahahahahah!

I'm still trying to locate that chrome ford goody...lol

 

I try not to have to many frosty beverages when working on cars/trucks or I forget to tighten bolts and stuff lol.

 

Journalism grad? I think you're being overly generous.

I've got the tarp and the marked storage containers, but how do I secure the tarp to the floor? Tapcons? Don't say duct tape. I hate that stuff and refuse to use it for anything.

 

No wonder it's such a challenge! They make it sooooooooooooooooo much easier if you simply restore a different year model. I should have bought the easy five step plan 1950 model. D'oh! Gimme a Duff, woman.

Shoot! Now I gotta find some original paint!

 

Ya, Well those Old 1950 Fords were so much less sophisticated than the 1951's were that it only took 5 steps.

 

I can reduce it to three steps:

1. Take truck to a restoration shop.

2. Leave entire life savings.

3. Find something else to do for the next few years while occasionally sending checks to cover costs after life savings depleted.
