Thanks Gavin, I may need a little more luck at this one. But win, lose or draw I bet I'll have a good time, and see a lot of amazing trucks.

I'm proud of you having that attitude as the owner. But myself, as an outsider, am expecting more. Even though there will be a bunch of high end builds there. But that is part of my point. Those high end builds were professionally built. By teams of employees. Your rig was built by one Man. A regular Joe like myself and everybody in the Kingdom. With a whole lot of talent in your hands. Lose or Draw you still Won in my book. But I'm expecting better than a loss.

All I can say Jeff I hope your right.

Well we are here, after a 3 1/2 hour drive and setting the truck up, I don't mind telling you I am wore out.
Here a picture I snapped at a truck stop.


When we got in the pavilion they wanted it covered as quick as we pulled it in.


Here is a couple of trucks setting outside the motel room. And I have seen all kinds of Bumps on the road.

I know this is old, but I really liked the hammered gray you used on your inner fenders. Was this just the Rustolem by the quart, so something else you came up with. Actually love the whole truck! Great job!

Your right it is Rustolem you get in the qts. I like the looks but if I was going to use it again I would clear on top of it. That would make it hold the gloss better, so less waxing and the chemicals wouldn't affect it as much.

We made it back home last night. All I can say is what a week it's been. Three of my kids and their family' and a couple of my close friends made the drive down to support me. JT spent the day with us, and helped by answering a lot of the peoples questions and explaining how the truck was build in two weeks. Lol And golfmiser came by and got to meet him and his family. I have to run check on my parents this morning, but I'll get back on a little later and give you a little eye candy from the show to look at. But here is one just to let you know how I came out.
