Thread: 52 GMC getting close to completion!!!

Tweet

Thanks, guys. Yea, it certainly is worth it. I own a small mfg business, and we found ourselves in a slow period awaiting a couple of sizable orders. Rather than put the guys on shortened hours, I decided to put this through the shop and let them try their hand at something different. So...I didn't get to have a hand in everything that was done like I did with the Stude...still worked evenings and weekends, and even some during the day towards the end, as we had to get it complete and back to business. The guys did a remarkable job...one of my shop foremen did the paint and body work. He went to school for body work several years ago and worked in a body shop for a while, but doesn't really do much of it. He did a fantastic job. So...I'm pretty proud of the work they all did, and glad that I at least got to do some of it, as well as spec'ing out all of the details of what we would build. 'Cept for the paint colors, that is...that I left up to my lovely bride of 24 years. I was a bit unsure of it in the beginning, but I sure like it now.

One word: NICE!! Well, two words: Suweeet!! Ok, maybe three: Bee-u-t-ful!! Tha's a nice truck.

And you are to be commended for keeping your employees at work during a slow spell and yes the truck is beautiful.

Thanks, NTFDAY...slow times can be pretty rough on management and employees both. I've got a helova crew and hate to see them in a bind...
