I Must Part With Earl Quickly

OH my god. You're that Earl that had that huge page of you completely restoring your truck!!!!
I didn't think you were active anymore!
Man, my jaw was dropped for hours upon hours reading your restoration progress from years ago. I was and am still amazed! Hell, I have it bookmarked just for the hell of it.
This is a sad day.

Bill,
Take good care of Earl. He would have been here at my place by now if my trailer hadn't got creamed. I was supposed to go get him the next day. I'd have loved to have had him, but honestly, he stands a lot better chance of getting finished in the next decade with you. My projects are backed up as far as I can see already. Beyond that, all I've ever played with are Bonus Built trucks. Putting an unfamiliar basket case back together would have been a massive challenge. Keep us posted on the progress!

B.O.R.....THANKS.
My wife and I and one of our dogs travelled to Waynesville and met George's daughter and brother and a friend and some neighbors. They all loved ''EARL''. She even kissed him goodbuy!!
I started Earl up with 2 pumps of the throttle and he started right up and ran smooth as silk.
A ton of parts and literature was hauled home and now I have to decide the final build and the order of getting Earl on the road.
My wife will post some pics and Earls' family was so helpful and so happy to see him go down the road.
Saw an old black 56 f100 hauled on a trailer near Columbus,Ohio on our trip,and promised Earl he would look nicer than that ......it was faded black and appeared to be complete but needing a lot of paint issues....LOL

Julie...nice idea...LOL
I actually used Earl today to pull my other 56 out of the barn. It was awesome. Earl pullled his own weight and now is part of the WALFORD FAMILY.
I cleaned up all the parts and have all the stuff organized and now to get ready for the next trip.
George is a real stand-up cool guy. Thanks again!!
