Thanks! We have the idle set a little high, but it has a nice sound to it. The X-pipe gives a little different sound, but I like it.

It does sound different....and good.

I like the build style. That Caddy/Olds air cleaner is a nice touch too.

Thanks - we need to get it painted. It is one of the few parts left to paint. It would inevitably become a tool holder as we were working so I we waited to paint it.

Thanks guys. I'm hoping to be able to drive it to Columbus GG with an unfinished interior...I'll just keep the doors shut! After as long as I've been working on it, I just can't wait to drive it.

I'm not sure if I said it in this thread or not, but I bought this truck from some friends when I was 15 and it was literally sitting along a fence row completely disassemble. My Dad pretty much funded the projects start to get/keep me interested in building cars (and probably to keep me out of trouble!). Since then, well - - - a lot has happened. I'm 31 and hoping to finish it this year. It has been a long road. I've learned a lot and I'm still learning as we finish it up.

Your lucky My father only thought of cars a transportation. But he always let me have the cars I wanted and came to get me more then a few times when I got stuck. Your lucky you got to enjoy this with your dad, it must be great. Its been so long sence I drove my car, I might have my wife tow me around the neighborhood with my truck. As long as you can sit in it its good to drive and enjoy.

I haven't wandered into this thread until tonight, but I am glad I did. I really like the whole look of the truck with the paint color and the steelies. The engine sounds good and strong. My wife has given me the go ahead to build a truck of this vintage one of these days so I will have to show her this one.
