Hot rod truck progress

Magnetic info / safety signs for the smooth running boards on the decades long hot rod truck build . Doors & LF fender hanging Sun. Then running board install . All that will be left is veneer work under the seats . Am looking at a Mar. 4 or 5 debut at the Italian fest at the PSL. Fla. Civic center . They are having a 2 day car show . Planing on taking both trucks.
Working on 4 weighted stanchion boxes for the Auto Geek indoor car show Mar. 18 at the S. Fla expo center in West palm Beach , Fla.

Denny, good luck with the hot rod truck and good luck at the shows. How are you getting both trucks to a show?

The reason a sentry is on guard while at a show . I have no problem saying "Don't touch " while at the shows . Most people do it with out realizing they did it . Have plenty of micro fiber cloths under the seat .

Am looking forward to March 4 & 5 . Have a show both days at the same place 4 mi. away . Plan on taking both trucks & parking them side by side . Have been waiting decades to do this . Also have a very prestigious show April 2 at the Elliot Museum in Stuart , Fla. Very close to take both trucks . Some lucky friend will get to drive one of them . The license plate frame on the front is the one off unit made on the mill to accept the 6 1/4 "x 13 5/8 " original plate .

That's having a deadline to work to - a week away. Looking forward to the pictures and commentary. You should be proud of all the work, and caring about the details.
