Finally time

I've not been on here much lately, wife left and health conditions had me going other places but I decided that the time is now. We always say I'll get around to fixing this or putting that on the truck well I have a lot of parts collected and buying a bunch of new and decided that I start now. I'm going to be stepping out of my comfort Zone but plan on real overhaul on the 54. I'm sure I will make a few scratch their heads with what I am trying to do but I got to keep the truck so now time to fix this baby up. I am ordering new glass, bumpers headliner and going to try to get the tri-power working as well as Yoda box and looking at Hydro boost for brakes.I plan to do something different for the hood opening, not typical way but I will post pictures as I get doing things.

I can't wait to read the progress reports and view the photo's. I believe I started a modified restoration on my 54 back in March and yes, the learning curve is still vertical.

Best, Phil
