I looked through that thread, is there supposed to be a lot of pictures? I only saw like 3 pics in all 6 pages. Do I have to be signed in to see the pictures maybe? I can't even remember if I've even signed up as a member on the HAMB

Great thread. I love what he's doing with the truck.

Being logged into the HAMB showed all the pics for me.

This time around with this '49 it's a total rattle-can rebuild. I've built the big dollar show cars and I'm done. I'm gettin too old to care about paint chips, dust brushes and detail spray.....

I still love to look at the nice stuff and encourage it. I just don't have the energy anymore.

those who can are lucky and i guess its good for the economy if they spend.
I would rather buy 10 beaters with that money

or a completely stock 1 owner truck or car

I really like what this guy is doing with his truck. Some nice subtle mods as well as just making what he has work.

Great thread. Makes me want to consider the rattle can approach when I get there. He makes it look so easy...

I had to use IE browser to see the pictures, they wouldn't show up in Chrome for me, I didn't try Firefox.
