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.
Karl

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

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
