Hey Earl,
That is great. I want to get my truck painted this year. I want to hear what you think of Capital City Express when you are done.

Look forward to seeing it.

Earl, say goodbye to Brownie and hello to Burgie! I was shooting for Ford Lazer red, then went to Chili Pepper red, then ended up with Jag Red. There is a slight difference between brands of paint. Good luck, Jag

thanks

These things always take too long. Kind of like waiting for your mom to finish making the nanner pudding. John

Restoring my truck has taught me a little about patience. It is kind of hard keeping that good balance between wanting it all done tomorrow, doing it right, and getting bored and neglecting it.

yes i agree with that some times when things don't go how you want them you kind of lose interest in it all then some thing starts the fire again? you see a nice looking truck and think mine is atleast that nice and i want it better and you dive back into it again that is just the nature of the beast at times.
Thanks
