I'm Done

Until fall that is, then she gets a set of Posies and two more coats of clear. I am ready to have a little fun this summer.

Your truck gives me inspiration, and a tad bit of jealousy too. Love the blue, my favorite color.

Absolutely gorgeous! I would be afraid to drive it!

What's that license plate, some special antique classification or YOM?

A great looking truck, hope you have a great time driving it. It looks like it was made to drive, not be a trailer queen - even though it is beautiful enough to be a show truck. I hope to be driving mine in a couple of months, but it isn't near as nice looking...

That is an original 48 Licence plate. Here in AZ if you find a original plate and after being cleared by the DMV it can be assigned to your vechicle.

Hey Chuck,
It looks absolutely great! My new wallpaper for the Spring - I love that
overhead shot.

You never say the "done" word - as soon as you utter that word something's liable to just drop out the bottom of the truck....

We need a Western states get together. I'm just working on mine to get it reliable enough to cross the Sahara desert (Austin to El Paso).

Looking good in Arizona!!
