Build is Back On

I wanted to share this news with you all. After using my money that took me years to save building my engine and tranny and putting it in the frame last winter I got very depressed and was about to sell the truck because of being on disability and fixed income. I was only able to save about 200 a month to put in the truck and this was going to take me years to get the truck running. Yesterday I went to the bank and found that I was very able because of great credit and not owing anybody I was able to get a low income loan that I can easily afford. So now the Build is Back On. Looks like I may get it done before health won't allow me.

That's good news, Tracy. Time and money are finite commodities that need to be managed carefully. I'm glad you found a way to get the most out of what you have been given. Doing what you enjoy has been demonstrated to be good for your health. "Investing" money in your truck build, may enable you to be more productive in other, more important, areas of your life. As we have been blessed, we can be a blessing to others.
