Ya know my late brother, the ornary basterd that he was, would probaly find something to ***** about the project. knowing him he'd ***** that I am going to ad AC and a 400 auto. Oh well the funny thing is that when I dropped the frame off at the sand blaster I remembered that it was in this truck that I used to snow plow the drivewway of the guys dad that owns the sand blasting shop... it was kind of creepy. I remember it like it was yesterday and it was when I was 16 yrs old, now 33. another thing is funny how I am more excited about this project that my Superbird or AAR cuda. I guess it is all about heritage.

when my brother passed I aquired all his shop and hand tools. I have bult many cars with them since. Mostly mopar just to spite him. Building this truck with the tools my brother and I used to pass to one another since I was 6 yrs old will ad a special touch to the truck. But if the truck starts throwing tools at me I am going to run!!!!!

ditto! it's always good to hear the stories behind the build-up. Nobody can put a price on sentimental value.
