  1. We picked up the truck in GA this weekend and brought it home last night. For the time being I’m parking it in storage until I can make room in my garage or find a shop. I still need to inventory it but I do have the hood, rear benders, tailgate and bed pieces. Most of those have had the body work and are primed. Some touch up work is needed in places but based on my limited knowledge it looks close. The original engine was replaced with a 350. It’s a rebuilt motor my father in law put in before he had the body work started but it has been sitting for years with no fluids in it. I know I’ve got my work cut out for me but am excited to take this on.
  2. I definitely want to do it and my wife (no pics) is on board. I’ve just never taken on a project like this before and not sure what the order of operations would be. Won’t even know for sure what all needs to be done until I lay eyes on it myself. Going to do some research on it. I feel confident about doing some of the mechanic and wiring work myself. I imagine this will be a project I complete a little at a time as budget allows.
  3. My Father-in-law is giving us his 59 Chevy pickup. He’s had it since he was a teenager and is only the second owner. Its currently in a friends garage in Georgia who’s worked on it here and there over the years. The guy is going into hospice so he’s got to get it and wants to go ahead and pass it down. I know it’s going to take some work and $$ but I’ve always liked the idea of something like this. From what he says, the engine still runs the body is pretty much ready to be assembled and painted. The cab is on it, from the pictures I’ve seen the bed needs to go back on. I know we’re looking at some work still but I’ve no idea what I’m getting myself into. I feel ok with doing some basic mechanic and assembly work but I’m clueless about paint and body work. Any advice is appreciated. Pic for reference but I’m not sure this is even the most recent picture.
  4. No, not at all. Some of us still go to BBG too. Some of us just had a vision for a new group that wasnt necessarily the clubhouse style AA.
  5. Suburban group in Plano is another legit one. My home group AA101 in Rockwall is a fairly new group but is a strong one.
  6. I've got several tubs of antique porcelein dolls. Some were hand poured and painted by my stepdad's grandmother, but then there are others that were manufactured. Some are by a German Manufacturer called K&R. I've found a little info on the web that says they were made up until sometime in the 1940's. Would be interested to see what some of those are worth.
  7. My teens have been doing their own laundry for a few years. They each have an assigned "laundry day" to get their stuff washed and dried.
  8. Someone pointed out that Kayce's dead son is buried there, could that make it designated as an Indian burial ground?
  9. I'm in the same boat along with Josh Allen and Kyle Pitts....frustrating.
  10. Saw these last night. Did not want to try.
  11. That is true, and I'm not against rehab (I made a trip there myself). In my case, I wasn't willing and honest when I checked out and found myself drunk again within 90 days because I took the middle of the road approach. I knew the solution, but wasn't willing to fully surrender and be completely honest. I've seen this experience in many others along the way.
  12. I'll third this, rehab is a place to dry out and hopefully get introduced to the long term solution, but it doesn't work if they aren't willing or ready. To quote the spiritual experience: "Willingness, honesty and open mindedness are the essentials of recovery. But these are indispensable."
