Finally out in the open

It's a runner, but not a driver quite yet. Still working out details.

There is something about your truck that had me hooked the first time you posted a pic of it. It is so unique and cool, I love it. Believe it or not the other night I was laying in be bed and all I could think about the inside of the mixer bowel and weather it had an access hole and how much hardened concrete was on the inside walls and mixer blades, and how you will get it all out, chipping, needle gun, acid. It's funny the stuff that the things that keep me entertained when it's quiet. Anyhow I love your truck, you are doing a great job on it. You are truly Rocking it, Ha, Ha.

A person I know has a business delivering small quantities ot ready mix cement in small mixer trucks for projects like side walks and other projects that don't need a full blown tri-axle truck load of cement. This truck would be great for his business.
