  1. ......my exact thought.......My dad was into trains so I always kinda looked at it as a hobby and I had a love for the automobile and my dad made it known it was a hobby to enjoy,hes 83 and still works with his layout!!!

  4. Small update,got a little bit done to the Pete,hopefully its starting to get closer to completion.....as always comments/ideas good,bad,and or ugly always welcomed....... The frame looks black in the picture but is actually a dark maroon pearl
  5. Ahhhhhhh yes,Three Days of Peace and Music,actually four days with Jimi's excellent performance!!!,I love to have seen/been there,but I was only 6 at the time,my sister and her husband talked of going but couldn't,I have the VHS,DVD,DVD Blu Ray,original LP (record for who don't know ) and CD's and my most prized possession,an original at the gate admission ticket!!!!!......My daughter,Baby Girl,love watching and listning to Woodstock..............PEACE!!!!!!!
  6. Mine was in '79,there was a local gas station and the owners were MOPAR fanatics and always had the nicest ones around,but the took in a partial trade a orange(my favorite color) '69 Nova SS 396 4sp and they were not fans of GM but took it anyway to sell off which they tried to do with my neighbor who was a GM fanatic and knew them well. The car was jusssss a lil' rough in a few places,the typical Nova rot above the rear quarter lip,drivers door but nothing to extreme but my neighbor wasn't interested cuz he had 2 Nova's,2 Camaro's and one Monte' and he knew I loved Nova's and I was looking for my "first" real car so he turned me on to Jim,he wanted $1500. but being Larry's neighbor I could have the car for $900. Needless to say I didn't have the cash so Jim said "see whatcha' can do Doober and the deal will be the same if I don't sell before you could get the money".....I scraped,saved,begged,borrowed..no steal,until I got 9 bills and I hopped on my 10 speed and rode my butt off to get there just to hear Jim say "Aww Doober,I sold the car earlier today,soo sorry"..........
  7. A-men!!!!!,we have a lot in common!!!,both have daughters who like cars and love the Dead!!!,honest honest My Baby Girl inherited my love of the Dead too,even to the point where she calls Jerry "Uncle Jerry" ......Only wish I could have taken her to one of their concerts.......You did good dad,you did good!!!
  8. Is that a Grateful Dead Cd in the storage bin on the enging cover I see?!?!?!?!
  9. Sweet lookin' rig and cargo,very cool on the weathering,what did ya use for the mud look?
  10. That was the same thinking I had about being the same truck......info is so limited,I have read one place that there was only one made ,which I find hard to believe and another source I remember reading awhile back said to be only a few hundred produced for a few years would like to know,I am always up for the strange breeds especially when it come to cab overs!!!
  11. Yeah that and a whole lot of recall info....Did however found these few pics... What an interior,love to see the dash work...
  12. Awesome job Nick!!!,very clean build,nice details on the trim with the correct chrome/black treatment......
  13. Very cool and rare beast,more like "Frankenstein",would be a cool build,bad thing is that there isn't much info on the truck.....
