Damnit Tom, pick up the truck already! I want to see some complete pics!!

 

Pick it up Tom! I want to see more pictures!

 

.. Tom is flyin up on the 31st ...



.

 

....and gonna drive it home, I presume? Lucky him.

 

Well, I'm finally going to chime in. That's right, I'm going to pick it up on the 31st of this month. Corey has done a rather good job about the strategically placed camera shots. It's been real fun coming home after work and waiting a few hours to see if something new is going to get posted and then coming back to it a few times more to see if there's something I'd missed in the pictures. I didn't want a big time off roader but, I wanted something that's better than it was new and will most likely outlive me. I know Corey's done it. He knew what I wanted and has built it. Actually, he's done a few more things that I wasn't expecting and I'm glad he did. Believe me, I've been laying in bed at night waiting to go to sleep and imagining what the whole truck looks like. I beat kidney cancer last April and told myself I'm going to have what I want. Now I'm getting what I want! Hang on boys, it won't be long!

 

Is it the 31st yet? C'mon can't we have another sneak peek, I'm getting impatient...and its not even mine lol

 

ok ... well I post up a little bit more

Well Tom and his wife are on there way home .
They picked up the Truck on Thursday . We spent quite a few hours on the delivery going over everything . then the fuel gauge and temp gauge stopped working
I couldnt let him leave with this , so I started "digging" into the issue .
2 hours to track it down , Turns out the dash connector power pins had oversized them selves and were no longer making contact .
repaired , and delivered drive safe Tom

Simply amazing! Tom is one lucky man!

 

Drooool.... Looks good! Great job!

 

Looks amazing! You did a spectacular job restoring that rig! Love it!

 

so very nice. Excellent, inspirational work, as always.

 

Thanks fellas ..

Still waiting for your explanation as to why you arent happy with this build...?? Slacker did an amazing job with this resto.

 

Awesome job! I always enjoy your builds!

 

so ... some of you have been asking questions .. (PM's)
I thought I would answer.

I have been trying to collect a substantial amount of money owed from Tom but he wont pay .. he told me , my work is "crap"


totally my fault on the money issue , BUT , this has DEFINATLY changed the way we do business with Americans



.

 

Damn Americans!! I don't see anything wrong with this truck other than the fact that it isn't in my driveway. Some people just don't understand that time, effort and expense that goes into restoring a vehicle. I know that if my wife ever found out how much money I have into my truck she would likely kill me!!

On another note, I was just going back through this build amd noticed that you installed a nice shiney new hood to cowl weather strip. Where did you get that from? Mine is destroyed and I can't seem to find one anywhere. Also, is that a factory head liner or did you have that made?

 

personally , I think he had this planned from the beginning , but onward and upward .. he told me on the phone " I just want to put you out of business " well FU Tom .. shop is booked for a year on the books and off the books I have about 3 years lined up , so as they say .. this ones for you Tom



pretty much done with Tom, and this thread Dave , so , I'm just going to answer your questions in a PM

Haha, sounds good to me!
