First day out!!

I've been working all week trying to finish up the truck to have it ready for the Warsaw Chicken Barbecue and car show, which is 2 miles from our farm here in small town Ohio. Just yesterday I put my doors on and installed my door windows. But I finished her to be showable (still some things that need worked on) and got the the park and they canceled the car show. I was pretty disappointed. It was still fun being able to drive it, I took a lot of pictures to share.





At first I wished I didn't have the spare tire fender but I really like it now








Can anyone fill me in on why this sun visor isn't drilled out like it should be?





Some pictures of my shop, I brought some of my signs over to spruce it up a bit.

A fine looking truck.

Can anyone fill me in on why this sun visor isn't drilled out like it should be?

The standard cab only had one visor so the holes wer not drilled for the other visor.

Too bad it was canceled, turned out to be a one truck show.
Your truck looks good, some trucks only came with one visor so the passenger side was not used, leaving the plug in place.

To bad it was canceled, but I'm sure with the excitement came a stomach full of butterflies, wich wont be as bad the next time you roll out to a show. So I guess that's the silver lining there always talking about, plus it will give you a chance to vacuum, dust, and clean the glass one more time. Nice truck, nice pics.

Thanks guys, r_reed I really like the hotrod black and red. I want to pick up some skinny trim rings. when I bought the truck I was wanting to build it like this one I found online. hopefully lower it a bit in the future and a different rear end Bigger white walls. and there's a pic from when I brought it home n February or March.

I'm thinking that maybe they got wind that you were coming.

What a transformation! Hear us now: "You see, honey?.." "..I can make that pile of rust I'm aching to buy look great too!"

Very nice. It's a disappointment that the show was cancelled, but driving the truck had to be fun.
