ggdad1951 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 ggdad1951, thats awesome! where do you live? I live in the Twin Cities, but I always go up to the UP for the Gopher/Tech hockey games as well as go up with some friends to the one's grandparents cottage up by Dreamland. I'll be up for the 4th weekend this year for a friend's wedding, we should try to meet up! BTW, if you ever want to sell it, I suggest you go talk to Jim, the owner of the Library, I mentioned that to him and his eyebrows shot up for a promotional type vehicle being the old beer brand up there (this was before I knew you had worked on it). mmmmmm KBC......

Merle Coggins Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 :p I knew what you meant Mark, but I've never heard Bucky called a skunk before. That critter looks like a chipmonk, and I've declared war on those little buggers too. They raised hell with my front yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkahler Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I took these pictures of my 51 B3B just after rolling it off the trailer after moving it from Arkansas to Kentucky back in the summer of 09. Now that my move is over I've been sorting through all the boxes trying to find everything so I can start assembling it. With any luck at all I might just have it mostly assembled by late next year. We'll see... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkahler Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 She's gonna be a beauty ! More horsepower too ! Sad part is this is pretty much how the truck looked in the winter of 2000/2001. Since then life has gotten in the way along with moves from Texas to Arkansas to Kentucky. Well, the moving is now over and I'm itchin to get it running. Even better, one of the guys I work with is an excellent body man and is going to help assemble and align all of the sheet metal. I can't wait .
