Re: A lovely tail of Before & After
I see you are in Sand Lake... We R in Greenwich...not far from U! Might take the sy to Lebanon Valley this sat...interested? Also, there's talk of an albany Hooters meet soon on that subforum.
Our body man, Roy Shuey, is in Huntingdon, PA...he is quite honest, affordable and hard-working. The cladding came out great, but he did not have fun w/ it at all...He runs Mudruckers Customs. The truck would still be sitting waiting for body work if he had not offered such low prices. Anyone want his #?
Mike , thanks for posting photos..you know how computer illiterate i can be sometimes!...and thanks for the help gathering parts and for troubleshooting that driveability problem u know so well.

Yeah...it takes a good deal of money to refurbish and maintain specialty vehicles...but i think in the long run we will have made solid financial investments... maybe we'll see some mint syty's going for 100k at barrett jackson's auction in 2030... hot rods and specialty/rare vehicles have always been reasonably solid investments. and WE(SYTY FOLKS) have the unicorn(s)...the mythical beast that everyone has heard is out there, is in awe of, but has never seen...these trucks are legend to diehard auto enthusiasts. Rarity and legend makes for money in our pocket in the long run...hopefully.
I spend all "extra" money on vehicle maintenance/upkeep...cuz i'm only into 3 things -skiing, soccer and cars...---> soccer is free, they pay me to ski/coach, ...so cars ends up being the only thing besides normal bills that i spend $ on...I'm not into clothes, vacations, games, music or whatever to spend $ on....and Thank god i have a wife that likes cars too....and i've reasoned my way into convincing myself and family that the cars might be a good investment in the long run...maybe...hopefully....but are definitely fun along the way no matter what happens
plus i love to detail cars...my own and customers... and driving around in detailed and different vehicles always attracts detailing business...
and lastly, these trucks are powerful...and as u know, w/ great power comes great responsibility...I try to use the attention gathered not only to generate detailing business and make friends, but also to set an example to "race at the track, not on the street"...2 kids were killed in the Albany area AGAIN last week street racing. Its a shame. The"street legal drags" at local tracks seems like a great idea...hope it really catches on.

Re: A lovely tail of Before & After
I was this >< close to firing the cash cannon and picking that truck up pending approval by management since it was for her. She didnt want it :roll: ....(poop on her is all I can say).
Anyways, looks like it turned out really nice :tup: . Just keep it out of the salt/winter

Re: A lovely tail of Before & After
Hmm i am going home to work saturday, so i will be only 20 minutes from the valley. If i get out early enough i will make my way over. Let me know if you are still going when it gets close.
And i will definately be at Hooters whenever the meet is. Or anytime just to hang out.
