That Chevy has been a life saver. And Ford couldn't / wouldn't put together a deal for me on a full sized truck, and wanted me to rock a Ranger... I got that Chevy for $16k the way it sits (wheels, billet, etc)...

$hawn, I threw that in there, because I figured that's about the only place I'll get to see money and me in the same place any more Now that the car's home, I'm afraid your name is gonna be $$$$hawn...

Glad to have the car back, Uncle Pat came and took an assessment of it with me a few minutes ago (FWIW: His GT is as stank as the day is long!)... He sees the light at the end of the tunnel, just a roller as it sits though, with a lot of work needed...

$hawn, when can you get with me to take a look at it, and inventory the parts I've got, and make an assessment as to where to head with it, and of course the financial game-plan thereafter?! I've only got the tow-dolly for tomorrow and Tuesday, but if you don't mind swinging down this way........

Yep.. Because a ford is worth to much to put the miles on. The chubbies are cheap (everyone gives them away), so miles are a non issue..


I wish I had a garage to buy a roller and build it up

I've never owned a Chevy until this truck, and just had to do what was financially the smartest/best thing to do. So, shit happens...

I have a garage, but it's getting padded to roll jiu-jitsu :shrug: so I don't have the room, lol. I'm hoping to get it up to $hawn's before too long though, and start making some forward progress

Just a thought..... Trade the car for a mule, then shoot the mule.

Cody, it dolly'd beautifully. 80mph the whole way home.

Flastangs, yes, $118.XX for a one-way, four-day rental from UHAUL up in Chattanooga, TN.
