Hey Vinnie when I saw your truck at Jim's shop last year I was only joking when I said you can sell it for spares to pay the storage fees.....


Still think of all that gas you have saved over the last 18 months

See you in November

Looks like it won't be ready for the DelValLO rental! Hope to see it done soon. I will take a peek at it's progress next Saturday while I am at the shop.
