Thanks Guys Around this area most people do document their work process in a book & share their work,while showing their vehicles.it also takes the No Bull factor out of the equation for their it all is.@ Father Doug thank you,the truck took 2yrs & quite a few cases as well during frustrating times lol to get to this point it is about 85% complete right now but drivable & safe.just have to finish up some dash wiring work to get my fuel guage to work & hook up the dual tank setup & electric,then start detailing it all.but thats the fun stuff for their realy never finished.The only thing thats not in the book are the many reciepts from the vendors,it will take another binder for those..LOL

Documenting and sharing the work process sounds like a great idea. I know from having my engine built, that wish I had more of an idea before hand of the total cost and of the many little details and decisions that would have to be made.
I do not think I have my vendor reciepts anymore. But I do have a bag full of their stickers.
You have a great looking truck BuzzGun. I would love to see it and hear it in person.

Very impressive! what a great idea to document your build. most of the time guys just shake their head and say "I will never be able to have a truck like that"
but with your write-up and pic's, it won't seem out of reach!

cheers

Dennis quoted "I have documented all parts and service from day one since owning my truck

"Plus, a parts numbers document with cross-over to brand and number"

Excellant idea Dennis i will do this as well & add it to the book,then i can keep all the reciepts at home in a safe place.Thanks@Roy,never say never my friend,good things come to those who wait and work to achieve their goals in life.I just happened to be in the right place at the right time is all it came down to.I am not a wealthy person by no means,just a common working man like anyone else.grant it I waited along time for this dream but never let go of achieving it.I aquired the rig from selling off my Jeep and stayed within the budget from those funds.And no out of pocket expense up to this point.just alot of planning,time,patience and effort.It Can be done.I thank all of you for the kind words! That makes all the effort worthwhile!!.
