Once again, thanks to all for your help along the way!!

Wonderful job, how long did the project take? I'm jealous.

That is real Nice, congrats on a job well done.

bobgreco · 07-10-2011, 06:02 AM

Thank you everyone. There were a few questions that I will try to answer:

1. It took us about 2.5 months working on it every weekend and most evenings.
2. My son has not driven it yet, but will one of these days. He does not know how to drive a manual transmission, but needs to learn.
3. We love the new color. Much better than the yellow, which I always thought looked too hot roddy.

Enjoy the rest of the summer!!

It looks great! Ours could be twins if I would put the side racks on mine.

cars56 · 07-10-2011, 12:38 PM

Beautiful truck, did you say in an earlier post that you did the painting yourself?

bobgreco · 07-10-2011, 01:28 PM

Yes, I did paint it myself. I learned a lot about painting!!

Tom Wesenberg · 07-10-2011, 10:09 PM

Beautiful! I like it much better than the yellow, which as you say "looks too hot rod".
