My truck has been finished since early this year. It's been in the works since about Oct.98. So far it's got over 1000 trouble free miles on it since May. I am enjoying the heck out of it now and am doing alot of the shows and cruises this summer. My wife and I have met alot of new friends as a result of it. I have received some great advice from all of you at this site and have done my best to give good advice too. To all still building, keep going the end result will be rewarding. If you would like to see my truck check out my new album in my gallery.

Truck looks great! And that's coming from a Stocker.

Good work...I'm envious that you get to enjoy the finished product.

That is one gorgeous truck!! I love all the attention to detail, the way the paint scheme is carried over into the bed is a neat touch as well as the undercarriage. Ever since racing a 55 Chevy with a tilt nose I've wanted another, I love the look.

You have inspired me! Hopefully I can crawl out of the slump I've been in and make some progress.

Thanks again and I'll just bet that you are enjoying the ride!

Bobby

Thanks for all the kind words. I hope that it indeed inspires those of you who might be in the "Builder's Slump" for whatever reasons. There were many times that I just could not see the light at the end of the tunnel, but visiting this board often made me get up and go to work on the truck. This site does truly inspire and encourage. Thanks to all of you at FTE.
