Nice.You know I had s10 pick-ups and thought because of the weather here I Roch,NY the Astro vans I went to would be better.I am shopping for a used stand-up air compressor and wouldn't want to lay that down,so all I can do is haul my dual axle 12' trailer to pick one up.Sure which I had a pick-up again.
Sorry about the hi jack of your thread.I hope you know I think everything you have done on this project has been just too cool.Very nice.

Thanks Barb and Gary. Gary I've almost always had a truck and would pretty much be lost without one. The last couple of years though the truck has been the True Spirit I built a while back. The problem was that it turned out too nice and I really didn;t want to haul anything in it. It's nice to have one I can use again.

:) This build turned out awesome, I really like the quality of your work. I think speak for everyone when I ask "Whats the next project?".

The CORRECT answer would be a certain hemi powered pickemup that's been pushed back......................for a LOOOONNNNNGGGGG time.:)

AHHH the next project. I don't really know right now.
I've done 3 major and one minor project one back to back over the last 6 years (57 Plymouth, 76 Dodge, 84 El Camino and this 83). Frankly I’m a bit burned out at this point.
Since I quit my job a bit over a month ago I’ve been sorting thru some of the parts collection and seeing what I really don’t have a use for.....I’m looking at doing the swap meet/E Bay/Craigslist thing for a while. I’m also looking at thinning the herd a bit and maybe getting rid of a few vehicles.
I’ve got a guy interested in the 64 Ford, it might come in next so I can finish up the mechanical and then let it go and let him worry about the paint and upholstery.
I’m debating on whether I’m better off doing a cosmetic restoration on the 68 El Camino or trying to sell it as is and the same with the 81 firebird.
The one I really want to start on is the 37 Dodge and I thinking about getting that back in the shop to at least get the firewall and floor done. Yes Bob I know I know.
Of course all my plans may be moot ........my lovely wife mentioned last night she would really like to have a convertible or Cobra II again (I just can’t seem to convince her she would look really good in an 81 Trans AM clone, but I'm still working on that) :D
