Sounds exactly as it should!

Some guys are "shutterbugs" -- some guys are just happy to see stuff thru their eyes.... I'm the latter. I just don't take many pics -- too damn busy just enjoying the stuff we see and the people....

In the car hobby I've always said there are two kinds --- Greasers and Waxers.... I'm a greaser. I could care less about shiny paint... I want my stuff bulletproof and drivable.


Here's a pic of a few us going to some greasy spoon somewhere in god knows where.... most days I had no idea what state I was in let alone what city. I love the diversity of cars on these tours.

If you're on Faceybook --- from Left to Right -- Alan Pound - me - Jesse James (I built my '33 after seeing Jesse's) - Rod Parsons - Alan Miller (car will be for sale soon and it's bad ass and dead nuts reliable - all SpeedTech and quick autocrosser)

I'm a greaser too, that's why my car is going to be wrapped and not in paint jail for years and still not correct

Yeah both my sister and nephew had smiles bigger than their face after their rides, I was glad to be a part of it! They have a better appreciation for my car addiction and some of the guys' (let's just call them ... personalities)

Greg the truck sounds great. I’d love to do a tour one of these days. Hey Chief how are you doing?

[DBasher]

Oh I gotcha, Greaser. I was referring to the POS dirt missile video.... not at all the quality of the video production but the quality of the delivered product.

Here, I’ll simplify it for ya.

Nice truck! Sounds great!

Jesse has about 65,000 miles on that car now, he's a machine.

KWhizz stopped in this morning and I talked to Chris and Lynda over the weekend........I am so happy for you that the truck is everything it was supposed to be and more. Keep rolling that odometer over.

Interesting side note. I was cruising CHRAs website a couple of weeks back and noticed a familiar face in the crew. Mathew Harris is responsible for me making my career in this field. He wrote a letter to Hot Rod Magazine in 1997(I think?) about his time at Wyo Tech.....I signed up the next week. When I got to the street rod program, he was my instructor and I learned so much from him. I don't know if he worked on your truck and I haven't seen him in a long time, I hope he is well.

Jesse is just one fun human being --- I love him! We have so much fun dishing crap. I wish I saw him and John more often. Well hell -- there's a LOT of people I wished I saw more often.... but when your friends are spread out all over the country and on a couple continents -- you have to be content to just enjoy when you're together.

I don't know Mathew by name but may recognize his face..... I know there were a lot of "all hands on deck" to get this done in the time they had. This was by far the most trouble free and most enjoyable build I've had done. While I'd prefer to build 'em myself - those days are over for me.

PPG must be doing a “primer” Ad...... They asked to use the 40 for one of their print Ads..... This IS NOT the verbiage they’re going to use - that’s just a place holder....

I love the shot and the color. It makes for a great add. It would be nice in a frame without the print, in fact I have a nice spot in my fish room for it.
