Welcome from Calif. I think your truck is pretty just the way she sits. Enjoy working on her, shes been giving her whole life, its her turn for a little TLC. Take lots of pics.

And I'll add a welcome from Southern California! That's a great looking truck to start with. Looks like it's almost ready to drive. A lot of us are jealous on that one...

Well we made it back home without any issues. You can't ask for more than that. I even had my boy help unload it and parked it in the barn. Now I start collecting pieces and work like hell on the car already in the garage.

If that is your "garage" I am guessing you won't run out of room soon.

I wish that was my garage. This was me loading at the place I bought the truck in Dallas. Man, they had some nice rides in there. 70 Silverado, 69 Camaro, 70 Challenger,.... No, my garage is a simple 3 car attached that I use two bays for projects and one bay for parking my daily driver. I have a small barn out back to park the projects in waiting.

Glad you made it back OK. I'm sure it feels good to have the new project home safely. Be sure to post some more pics as you make progress.
