Introducing myself

Hi, just wanted to intro myself. I've listed a truck for sale that I bought for my son and I to restore. We got about 70% done...It runs great but looks
like a primer gray battleship....and then gas went too high for us to keep the restoration thing going...It's been fun working on it with him though.

Oh well...that's life. I'm a National Guard recruiter and they don't give me a lot of time these days to work on it.

Welcome to the site!

Time can be the big issue when restoring a truck. At least you had the experience of working on it with your son. Hope you get a good price on it.

thanks

I really did enjoy the chance to work with my son. He's a great kid
but he's struggling with driving a standard here in the hills.....I'll probably lose
some money on this truck but it was worth it! I listed it here because I figure
that the person who buys it will really want to make something special out
of it....I'm going to try and avoid putting out in the paper to sell.

best regards,
Sc
