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!

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

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?
