grzmnky,
Nice truck, great looking color combo. It seems like one of the first thing most everyone does to their truck is change to some type of aftermarket wheel and tire combination. If you do, I'd be very interested in the hub caps and beauty rings. I know most guys don't like them, but I honestly think the trucks look the best in their stock form, like yours sits now.
Thanks,
Bill

Okay, I'll play.
The 90 5-speed we just finished. Originally it was done to flip and make a few bucks, but I'm thinking more and more that I may just keep it. I really like it too much to part with it.
My brother and I buy/restore/sell mostly old Mustangs as a sideline. I kinda made the call to do a 1st Gen when I saw this one for sale. I've had a 2nd Gen Cummins for about 7 years now and love it, but I've also always like the 1st Gens.
It's easy with Mustangs, because I really don't care much for them.
But, I may have learned a lesson; When you're doin' it for the money, don't restore something you're gonna fall in love with.
This is what we started with 45 days ago....

Willie,
Man, did that truck did turn out nice! I don't blame you for wanting to keep it. With everything you guys have done to it, you should have a reliable truck for many years. What I'm impressed with as much as anything...45 days!!!

He's hyperactive and he works at his job for 3 twelve hour days.
So, he's "body-man" four days a week.
And, I'm retired. So.... we've got lots of spare time
