Red face The X-Truck

Welp, My truck is gone within the next couple days. Selling it to a long time friend. Loosing my *** as usual but it's time for it to go. The 3rd "special" vehicle I've let go in my lifetime but by far the hardest to part with.

I'm gonna use the cash toward a home purchase. Get things settled and maybe in a couple years start another project. Part of the fun in the hobby for me is the building. Gets somewhat boring once it is built. Might be a truck, thinking regular cab 4X4 as the starting point. Maybe a GTO.... Maybe a Vette. Goal will be something capable of 10 second passes at the track and comfortable on the road. One thing for sure I'll have a truck for the daily driver. Can't be without one.

Good luck on the home purchase Roger.

I am sure the next project will be even better. I like the sound of a regular cab 4x4.

Sad/Happy...I can relate. Congrats on the sale and the new venture, whatever it looks like.

Roger - I'm glad I got to see the truck in person before it goes to a new home! Sad to see it go but, completely understandable. Thinking about what you want to do next and the actual build are the fun parts.
