Hope you guys get both of your projects ready. Lots of time and effort. But I'm sure they will both be awesome as usual.

Bob, are you guys bringing any riders this year?

Don't know yet. Playtime has been almost non existent for awhile. So much for being retired.

In paint.  I will wet sand and buff it over the next week or so.

That's glossy!   Hey that looks like a wide bar frame back there.

Looking exceptional , Rick .

I see you must have spent all your money on that rig as you can't even afford slippers . ;)

Wow Rick, that looks great. Nice job.
Maybe I just missed it but I didn't see the wheelie bars?

Another fine outstanding project! Warning, if you bring it to Portland we're going to drool on all the beauty. Congrats! What's next? I know you've been stashing parts. You turn out something new each year. Going to be hard to beat this one though. See you in a couple of weeks. Bob

Rick,
That turned out incredible. Wish I was going to Portland this year to see it in person.

Thanks everyone.  The paint isn't quite as nice as I would like, but it is more than presentable. I will not feel as bad after it gets all dirty in Portland this year!  lol

Vince, is that other Truck that is for sale in California anywhere near you?

Rick,

If it’s near Stockton or Modesto it’s about 5 hours from where I live. If it were a little closer, I’d go check it out. Vince

Did you happen to keep & compile all the measurements, tools used, techniques, information gained, your research, etc. into a collective format others could use concerning such a project as this? In other words, a book???? Or, something that could sold or shared in a "book like" format? I would be interested in something of this nature. I am NOT as intuitive (innovative?) as someone like yourself. If you kept all your "notes" concerning this project, I think it would have a degree of marketability. What sayest thou?
