Looks good! By the looks of the trees, you have been having a mild fall. "Get on with the move"? Are you going to a new facility?

I expected nothing less than it being SUPER nice. WELL DONE!!!! ...but you know that.

Hopefully your move goes well with out too many issues as we all know moving can cause.

Looks Great. I wish my car was that far along. Enjoy Oklahoma, I grew up in the panhandle of Oklahoma and spent some years in Tulsa before I moved up here to the winter wonderland. I hate it.

i have until next school year. selling all my stash and junk so i dont have to move it. main reason for the move is property taxes and land values . texas is getting like the west coast . high values and ridiculous taxes . i am retiring after this and going to build my falcon while doing another c2 restomod . all i will work on early corvettes . going back to my roots where it all started . been doing the streetrods for 25 years and just bored with them. i managed to get the interior done without sewing my fingers together .

Truck looks great. Inside and out, time well spent IMO. Outstanding color, almost looks like Monaco orange.
