Look at me


Ok look what hit the street. First time out of the garage. I was going to drive it around the neighborhood. But my wife reminded me it’s not insured or registered. Thank Jerry

Thanks the pandemic gave me a excuse to work on my truck. It’s cheaper then drinking. I have a few things to finish up but most of the heavy lifting is done.
thanks

I wish mine looked that good when I got it Jerry, except to get it to function well I wouldn`t have touched it.

Awesome! Looks great. I wouldn't have let license or insurance stop me from doing a spin around the block.
But I live in a fairly rural area of Missouri.
