Looking good. I am jealous. I really like your two tone grey seat cover. Where did you purchase it?

Congratulaions on being street legal

Truck is looking good. Drive it before the snow flies !

I am in Cochrane, so may see you around the area.

I may cruise down to High River this weekend with my '50.

Thanks guys, I feel a huge sense of accomplishment getting it on the road and it sure is nicer to drive than hiding in the garage.

Ben, the hood ornament was on it when I bought it and is from a 51 Olds. It will definitely stay on for a while. I am debating painting over the patina and matching the new body panels but I just cant bring myself to cover it. I might play around with painting my own fake patina next spring, whats the worst that could happen
I ordered the seat cover from Raybucks in the states. Pretty expensive with the conversion but I like the quality.

Tom, I pushed to have it ready just to drive it to the car show in High River this weekend. It will be my first vehicle in a show and I'm pretty excited. Stop by and say hello.

Mike

I will definitely be looking for you, supposed to be in excess of 1200 vehicles ?

Glad the weather is warming up.

See you there.

Saw your truck at the show

Went by your truck a couple times but you weren't around.

I stayed around the show for 6 hours, but only saw about 80% of the vehicles.

A beautifull day for it. Did enjoy looking at your truck, and heard a couple nice comments on it.
