Well hopefully karma has worked out with all that for all the effort you have put into this project. Looking really, really good.

 Thanks Jerel! Not without understanding...but I am putting in a ton of hr's on this project. I'm not complaining as I enjoy it and would be slaving away on something! Have to give credit to my family again! First the Canso and now this.... They all support me an realize the job I've taken on. Not sure if it will be up for sale. Family wants to pay for parts and give it to Lily on her 16th birthday. Would Luv that to happen. Life isn't about $$$ it's about happiness..just do what makes you happy.....

That would be cool for Her. Should be Proud of the Job you took on. Many would shy away from it. 

Thanks to you and your Family for your Time and effort in this Time.

Nothing fantastic, but made up a new turn signal arm on the lathe. Also got the new wheel to clock right for the turn cancel paws. Doesn't sound like much..but it sure eats up the hrs as you guys know!

Well..Guess i should give an update! Truck was completed last Nov after I retired. The family was waiting for a nice sunny day to reveil it to Lily. So Saturday was finally the day that she got to see it along with friends and family. Hope she gets many years of enjoyment out of it. The unveiling.....
