Thats funny!, I was thinking of a 3 in 1 when I saw the hole!, the mind boggles to think what they had in there! :(
Honey, If I say I`ll fix something I will, there`s no need to remind me every 6 months!!

Looking real good sir. I like the kick panels, those should work out rather nicely.

Wow! I dont know what to say. TALENT comes to mind and that's about it. Lot to say for someone who can dream of what he wants and then do it. This was my first time to see this truck. Awesome! If I had your help for about an hour, I could be driving mine! Sweet baby girl too! She is probably walking around by now! I have 3 kids and they are 19,14,11 now. They have all grown up wanting to cruise around in my truck but its never been finished. That's ok, the money went to feed them instead. Ha!
