Hey Bobby....

I'll put this request on my "to do" list......

 

The more I think about it, I want to put mine on in it's "Expected" state. I've researched this for a couple years, and my mind is made up on most things. Besides, all the wife asks of me now is to buy furniture and other odds and ends, since we're almost all moved into the new house, and afterward, I can concentrate on my truck....even though it's winter. But, Bobby, I cut and pasted your build sheet, and will modify it to mine.

Ya know, to give ya something to laugh at.

As soon as the wife says I'm done moving for the day.

....carefull, don't throw your back out...........lol


Change is not a problem, my list has changed alot over the years, I've just kept updating it as I go along. Now I'm wishing that I would have created a new build sheet everytime. That way I could have them as a sort of history of how things morped over the years.

Oh well, hindsight......

Bobby

 

I think it may serve well for those under construction to copy to a text page on their computer and update as needed or can we do this in gallery so that it can be changed or updated there ?? I think this is a great would be great as part of profile so it can be viewed from any post in any forum with just a click like gallery. Just a thought
Jon

 

Jon: A lot of us put that info in our galleries a while back. There was a thread that suggested it and a lot of us did so.

I copied Bobby's list in this case, but it is almost the same list of stuff that is in my gallery.

 

Jon,

I like it! I'll work on getting mine into my gallery. I like reading through these lists, its neat seeing them from the bone stockers up through the frankenstein trucks. Its makes for some cool comparisons.
