  15. Excellent thanks for that Again, your truck looks amazing
  16. Oh, by the way, since we’re on the subject I’ve also had two beetles and one bus. Yes, I have had a lot of cars in my day.
  17. Ha ha yes it would be a lot more than that now I also had a 57 back at 1973 but it was a four-door sedan. I sold it and bought a 62 Impala.
  18. Tom, I think we’ve all done stuff like that before one to one match is pretty hard to come up with
  19. OK, that’s funny Dave. I did not even notice the hole in the fender. That’s just what it looks like.
