lol...well...said in innocent jest, I'm sure. Perception and reality are oft far apart. The truck didn't take 7+ years cause I could afford to pay someone to install/do the best of everything for me
I paid 3k for my truck in 2001. Along the way I did without a lot of things that would have been 'nice to have' - a firebird clip in lieu of a mustang II IFS, leaf springs instead of bags, a used 10 bolt instead of a 4 link rear with a posi 9". The truck is simply the best I could manage with my limited budget and skills... 1st vehicle I have ever painted - not becuase I wanted to spray in my 2 car garage, but because I couldn't afford 7K for someone else to do it.
The economy (government) claimed my job a while back - Were it not for my military retirement I would have already sold my truck to pay my bills. On the bright side - being unemployed gave me the time to finish it.
