Big Red will move on to another owner...it's just a matter of when. The ECSB Bill had before this one was the longest I've ever seen him keep a vehicle in the 8 years I've known him. I'm wondering if he'll break the record with Big Red or not...time will tell.

I really think Bill will keep this one, but I don't know him like you Tyler! He's putting a lot of work in it, and I think its really what he needs from what I understand.

I doubt we will know each other til we die, so the winner will have to claim his glory at the Pearly Gates!

When Bill first bought Big Red, I went at him hard for a trade and some cash. The wife told me not to get rid of my truck. Not that he would have taken the deal, but I guess my big red has sentimental value to us both. Not to mention it's my first pickup as well. Always had access to any kinda truck, but this is MY first one.

This truck started everything that I do today. It sparked many friendships, including Cody. He brought me and the truck in and helped me learn everything I do today.. I would have never met him and many other good friends had I not bought that truck. lol If it weren't for Cody, I would have never found FTE. So here we are.. Flat broke and going to pick up more parts after work tonight. All thanks to that busted old truck of mine. LOL

I'm not pu$$y footin! I just keep creating more work for myself LOL!! I did get the down pipe about done this evening. I really want it to be done so I can drive it, but honestly, I haven't worked on this project like I do most other stuff. I been kinda enjoying the whole build, trying different things and ideas as I go, and also fixing other little things that I find along the way. I have tied to get in a hurry on this a couple times, but seems like when I do, I mess something up, so I'm just taking it as it comes. I don't see any sense in getting in too big of hurry anyway...........since I'm gonna have this truck forever......

That is the right attitude..... Bill
It is 100X easier to do everything now....rather than saying...Dang I wish I had done this or that while I had it down
As long as you have the time and money.....just keep doing what you are doing
When finished you will have something to be very proud of..
