Awesome awesome build. This truck is going to be artwork..not to mention priceless.

Never sell it dude.

 

So it's been quite a while since I last posted, never mind updated this thread. February 21, 2010 the day I turned 22, my whole life has changed drastically, in many ways. Rather than bore you with my life story, the house I grew up in was sold I was left without much of a choice where to live, thankfully my brother is letting me stay with him, since I just graduated also, and gives me some time to save some money up for my own place, which will be in about 2 months time. I quit my fathers business of 11yrs, and started working in construction in the city for Avalon Bay Communities, technically in an assistant supers position. Loosing the house lead me to need to find a place to store the truck, which leads to my update I now rent a garage, with storage second floor which will be a hangout, crash pad, and storage area. The garage had a 2 post, 9000lb lift in it, certified and USA made, instead of the last guy (a friend of mine) having to dismantle it I gave him the money for it, to leave it. Even the small amount of work it'll see, it's worth it. If you've worked on a lift you know what I'm talking about. Amongst plenty of other things in my life taking a complete 180 on me, I'm getting ready to get back into the swing of things. After feeling like I finally hit rock bottom with some family issues, my life is headed in what I feel the right direction finally...

So for a quick update a few pictures of the garage, and yes cooks truck is on the lift, first things first is to finish his up.

 

good to hear from you . hope to see this thread continue and best of luck to you .

Kurt, just some sheetmetal and exhaust work, and it's super easy right off 95 or 495.

 

Yeeeess! Your first post in a very long time came with good news. What a pleasant surprise to read your post this morning, had the feeling you were very busy with change and waiting to report some Good News. Congratulations on the new digs, with lift and loft – what a find…

Oh yes, also congrats on the new job. Everyone knows it’s good to have a job however; for someone with your talents it would seem that municipal or government employment of any kind would limit your ability to share your creativity with others. Which leads me to believe we are about to see some even more remarkable design ideas and fabrication coming from your new shop.

You have a huge following on this site and we all want to see your completed truck – at the same time I’m sure many will miss the-lessons-you-teach while sharing artwork via your text, pictures and video. I have studied your post over and over and picked out some helpful gems that applied to my truck and most of all general knowledge, thanks for sharing! It feels good knowing your back among us...
