Looking good John . I do prefer builds with a little jewellery but both very nice indeed . How are you making out with your current build ?

Your trucks look very nice, John. And your grass is looking good!

Now that makes the tucked in chrome front bumper stand out even more. Nice choice

Looks great, John.

Off topic: Shouldn't you have snow guards on your roof? That will protect the rain gutters. They're even used in Virginia.

Wondering , John, because I saw the dip in the rain gutter.

Did you paint the grass, John. Several people have done that to their brown lawns. Some are even putting down "astro-turf"

Amen to that, I am so fortunate living in Az I had a choice of 2 rust free cabs when I started on BADAZ56!

It's more fun starting with a road salt vehicle in NY.
