I do have a tailgate! I saw Bob's Woodie several years ago while he was waiting for the wood man to complete those parts and I will testify that just the motor/trans/rearend/ frame look as good as everything else does now! Beautiful! Way better than the factory ever produced appearance wise at least. Hope to see it completed in person at this upcoming BBQ. DJ 1 Quote
Don Coatney Posted March 11, 2017 Report Posted March 11, 2017 I also paid Bob a visit in 2007 and looked at his stable of cars. He does very good work. Quote

pflaming Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 l think the BBQ has a jinx on my truck. Been driving it a lot lately to be certain it is ready. Drove it to Kettleman City four weeks ago, 120 miles round trip, ran great. So just tidying things up and this morning the garage floor was WET. Leaky radiator. Removed it and took it to the radiator shop, scratch one, one-hundred dollar bill. Quote
