While at the Bodyshop...

While visiting my truck at the body shop, I saw this truck sitting in the corner. The story is, it belongs to Greg, the body shop assistant manager. A fellow worker bought the truck......just for the flathead engine and gave Greg the carcass. It's pretty straight and clean....

That's in gorgeous shape- I'd put it back together with another flathead and run it as-is...

'Course, I always was of the opinion that a really nice original rig is nicer than the best restoration money can buy..

^^^No objections from me. I'll take a pristine survivor over a rotisserie restore any day.


And if that pic is any indication, it looks like your truck is in good hands with other 'car guys' Brad. Sure non-car guys can do good work too, but I don't believe they go the extra mile, because they don't understand the attachment an owner can have with their rig.

What a truck... How cool! And Ben's right. That should make you feel at least a *little* better about where your truck is and the kind of people that will be working on it.
