Welcome fellow Texan!!!

My husband and I would love to see your '63. We've got a '63 flareside we are restoring as well. My husband works in the Dickinson area and we live in the Scarsdale/I-45 area.

Great group here, they can help with just about whatever you need.

We are trying to finish up one or two of our trucks in time for SlickStock 2010 in Iowa.

Once again, Welcome!

Thanks for the great welcoming from everyone. I will post some progress pictures of my 63' in the near future (once I figure out how to do it). All the chassis work is much complete, the cab will be next. I am looking forward to meeting all of you that live in my area.
