Ok I am a boring domesticated puke, who doesn't drink, I don't watch the news very often, but I do like watching COPS, 48HRS, INTERVENTION, and PINKS!
Whats the story?

Well, I'm just into truck **** and Bill is doing a fantastic job on all of his trucks.
There is not a lot of us F250 guys, we are too big for the F100's and not quite big trucks. I think I would have a Jay Leno garage if I could.

Just an Update

Bill has been working on Earl when he's home in Ohio. He's been in Florida as several of you have mentioned. As the spring arrives, he'll be putting the glass in the cab along with doing a lot of other finishing work.

I will ask Bill if he would mind me putting up some photos under my account on FTE. Some of you have commented that there's a story behind Bill removing them from his account. I can tell you unequivocally that he did so for reasons completely unrelated to FTE despite any rumors or talk to the contrary that you may have heard from anyone else.

I am really looking forward to seeing Earl finished as Bill gets time to work on him. The body was mostly finished last fall and it looks fantastic in the original Meadow Green. I envy Bill and the rest of you who know how to take rusted out sheet metal and make it look like, and sometimes better than, new!

I will try to keep you posted (pardon the pun) as to the progress and will see if we can work out a way to put up some photos. Thanks for all the interest - working on Earl was a lot of fun for me and Bill is now having a great time finishing the work (the hard part!).

I have to say I was curious about some story, but honestly, I was just bored at the time. no harm meant to anyone's reputation. And I wish nothing but the best for all. Nice to hear from you Earl! It can be easy to get interested in a juicy story, but hopefully we can keep that off here and let the TV world generate those for us. Please accept my apology sir.

Good to hear from you George, it sounds like you are in the loop on the restoration. That's great news! Your initial work on Earl has been great assistance to me in my build. I look forward to seeing more on this beautiful truck.
