First Solo Flight For Momma.

My Bride of 44 years loves Hot-Rodding and has steadfastly supported Me and my builds. She became very attached to the superior Monkey-Face F1's after I built one in the early '80s (before they were cool) and nearly divorced me when I sold it without telling her.

Today, I had my exhaust system pro-installed. When I pulled up, she told me to get out. Lousy shot, but she headed off on her first F1 drive since our previous one 30 years ago...

There's not a whole lot more a guy could ask for in life, you have a cool truck and an even cooler wife. That's a Rockin life in my book. Rite on!

Great truck and a great lady!!


My wife has driven my truck once, not pestering me to drive it anymore....lol. She pretty much tolerates my hobby.

So does this mean that I will see you in a couple of hours at the El Cajon Cruise Night? Since the "boss" is drivin' that means you can park your butt at Por Favor's behind a tall frosty Margarita!

I did in fact go to my first ever Escondido "Cruzin Grand" last Friday. As the miles build, the list of things to adjust and fix is growing. Most notably, a fairly noisy differential that showed up suddenly, a leaking brake line, and although I've made some progress, it's still running hotter than I'd like. I have some remedies on-hand though. I'll get down your way eventually and will PM you when I do.

I bought my sons trucks to get them into the hobby to teach them some skills. My wife became jealous telling me she would be the only one without a shiny old truck to drive. So i bought another. Now every time i spend money on parts
I tell her its for her truck.
