My '56 Update
Hello FTE Friends,
A quick note to let you in on progress, both mine and truck.
I've had 8 of 12 sessions and my doctor says my body is responding remarkably well. I am thankful of his efforts, for your thoughts and prayers and for God looking out for me. Thank You Lord!
Okay, now the truck...
Slowly but surely I've had:
1. the wheels & tires installed
2. the Ring & Pinion & Yoke changed
3. the Radiator installed
4. the emergency brake cable & handle installed
5. the windshield wiper motor and mechanism installed
5. sealed the cab gaps in preparation for Dynomat
6. the glove box installed - can't find my ash tray though
Tomorrow, "she" is getting her interior headliner & carpet
It looks like my wish of driving her - to my last few sessions - is going to come true. You know what I'm thinking, right? Leave her in the parking lot where seniors (respectfully) park in horrible fashion, I'm scared.
Anyway, here "she" is...

Wow that thing is looking really nice! Yeah i must agree, those WWW tires really look awesome on your truck. Would have never thought so, but after seeing yours, changed my mine about how they look on these.

Hello Paul,
glad to see your pictures posted here and your'e getting some well deserved praise for your wonderful work on this truck. Sorry to hear that you have health problems, hope that things go real well for you there. What reaction did you get from your Mum and Dad, have they seen it yet, bet they have a tear or two in their eyes.
I like to think of you cruising in that stunning truck, what a blast.
Great work and all the best for a long and enjoyable future cruising and building.

Great news and more great news Paul. Your truck looks great and I'm sure it's needed therapy as well. Way more important is how you are responding to the treatments and your overall health. You have been a motivator for many with how you handle your health challenges and the progress on your truck. Thanks, and wishing you good health and loads of fun cruising in the truck.
