Talking Someday......Is Today!!!!!!!!!

For 5 long years I have watched as many members have announced their "first ride" in the trucks that they have built.



Now it's my turn!!!! Someday is back on the road!!!!

I am far from being finished with the truck, there is still the windshield , finish building the wiring harness and build the bracket to mount the seats to before I can say it is road ready, but ,


I Took My First Ride Today!!!!!!!

Jeff, great new, congrats to you. I just think the truck looks really great the way it is right now especially with no hood so the 5 bangr will show. The MB emblem on the grill looks good too. It all has the "look" IMO with a small exception on the mirror. I bet you are going to get good MPG ? and make us all a bit jealous.

Jeff, Congrats, hope that test drive gives you the push to finish it. I could say the same as Jon did but once is enough! Good luck!
