Very nice attention to detail! Pics are great. I've kept a notebook/log of everything I've ever done to both 'new' vehicles i've ever owned and plan on doing the same to my Slick when it's finished.

Looks Great, nice attention to details without overdoing the whole thing.

Question? what do you use in your parts washer to clean with and about how long did it take to do that trans?

Your truck looks great. It's nice to see the pictures. It's also nice to have them for reference for when (if) I ever get to do mine up nice.

Back Yard

It hardly looks like the same truck I saw the last time I was there. I need to come visit again and see it up close.
You haven't moved yet have you?
I've picked up a new to me 77 F350 Supercab Camper special that I am becoming very attached to.

Thanks
This one sat here sat here for over a year I drove by it almost every day I finally stopped and asked what they wanted for it. I got it for $700.00 it included a 11 1/2 foot slide in camper.
I understand we have a new member close to you. Have you met him yet?
I am going to try to get up to visit in the next few weeks I've had a pretty busy summer so far. Are you going to the Good Guys car show? We had to change the date of ours here in Pinehurst because they moved their date up a week so it fell on the same weekend ours was. Ours is now 21st of Aug. We would really like to have you bring something and visit with us. Our is a non judged show and most of the money we take in is given back out to the participents during the day. A very layed back no pressure show and car people gathering.

The show is open to whatever you have. Very informal more like a social event. You don't have to hover over your entry there is really no judging. A lot of local businesses purchase a plaque that will have their business info on it and they will go around the entries and pick the car they like and then during the event the winner of the plaque is announced and handed to the owner of the car. During the day entries are randomly picked for various cash or prize awards. Most of the money from the entry fee paid back out.

The show is in downtown Pinehurst. Take exit 45. From the west turn right and go to the 4 way stop sign look to your left as soon as you pull through the intersection and you will see us and a lot of people will be there to get you through the registration and parked. I'm sure you will enjoy yourself.

Do you know where you will be parked at the Good Guys Show? I intend to be there and would like to meet up with you if at all possible. I'm expecting several of us will be there handing out registration forms for our show.

PM me a cell phone # so I can call you when I get to the show.
