Jody,
Like the truck. Came a long way since I saw it last. I am finally getting around to installing the hood that I got from you a while back. It's at the body shop and I'll post a pic sooner or later. Would love to check in at Hooters but I'll be away on vacation that week. If anything changes, I'll be sure to make the trip.

I got my BDS truck running. I went to missourri last weekend and ran a 10.65@126 in the 1/4 mile. it is one helluva ride.

Truck looks great Jody. Glad you got it finished.
The show in Orange is a real good one. Trophies in just about every class there is. Trucks, cars, old, new, you name it. They also have a lot of raffles and a ton of really good door prizes. A good one to make time for. To bad I have a football game for my son in NY somewhere and can't make it. Oh well.
We were lucky enough to take 1st in our class last year with the SuperCab.
Good luck!

I am planning to go to the car show. Trucks are welcome. we can park together if you want. i know a couple of the guys putting the show on.
Last year they said there were about 1000 vehicles there. there will be a chassis dyno too. there will be a monster truck, a top fuel dragster. $10 to enter $3 to look.
9am-4pm Orange Fair Grounds. Center Road(rte.152.)

If you guys really would rather go to hooters I don't mind leaving the show early. like maybe goto show, then hooters at like 2:00 or somthing.

I'm confused! Shame on me for not reading all the posts daily.
Boy am I glad I logged on this morning and read them all. We went from Hooters to the car show, and now it looks like we might be back to Hooters?
In addition we went from Noon and now around 2pm?
In the future, let's try not to complicate these events.

I just checked out your profile on here and I recognized the truck from seeing your shirt @ the show yesterday.
I had my 06' F250 down there parked in between the Orange S Trac and the bagged F150...
I was one of the guys in the pit crew shirts who was running the show
