Where is Chris Powell, Powell72?
 

Does anybody know what happened to Chris? I was thinking about changing my suspension up a bit and thought of his truck and his autocross win at Goodguys...searched and found that his last login was 9/28/10.

Whoops, meant to put this in the main forum..

I just spoke to Chris a couple of weeks ago. I'll send him a note and let him know you are looking for him.

Hey guys, I'm still around. The last year has been a bit difficult for me, I've had a lot going on, divorce, a move, and all the fun associated with both. :rolleyes: I've just been busy working, hanging with my dogs and keeping a low profile. But I'm still kicking, I still have the '72, it's still running like a top. I have just been driving it and trying to take care of it. I don't have the space to work on my cab so it's on hold. I'll do a better job of coming around here. I really appreciate everyone asking about me and hoping I'm well, this place is definitely like family.

I did manage to get another truck though-

It's a bagged '96 GMC on 18'' Boyds, grey cloth with buckets interior, and a 5.7/auto/3.42 posi. The paint is incredible and I don't think anything's ever been in the bed! I got a screaming deal and I've been working on it to fill my time. Don't worry, I still love my '72!

Way kool trucks! Its a great thing to have a hobby with your son. My youngest is coming around.

Divorce sucks, no matter who flew the coop. Good to see ya back.

Nice truck there,Mr. Powell. I'm curious what steering wheel you have in that truck. You see,just like Chris,I too have a steering wheel fetish :lol:

And Chris,about the divorce...I hope all is good with life now. Been there done that,not long ago. Better in many ways and harder in others. I figure it'll only get better,tho'

Re: Where is Chris Powell, Powell72?
 

The steering wheel is the original with the cracks filled with epoxy, painted black with a spray paint for plastic and then I buffed the horn button. The SunPro gauges are temporary until I can swing some 5" Dolphin or Omega.

Re: Where is Chris Powell, Powell72?
 

That wheel looks good! No need to change when the original wheel has so much style. You're doing that truck the way I like them...not overly modern. Pretty much the way it was always done. Don't change it into something else,just make what's there a little hotter.

Great looking '53!
Tell Chris to not be a stranger.
We've missed him around here.

Thanks for the update.

Sorry to hear about the divorce and life's quandries... hang in there buddy!
