Nice pic's, will see you the 16th for the cook out. I meet up with Alabama member JQ-72 Sunday to get some parts. He had not heard about it, so told him to check out the post on the board meets page, so may have a few more.

Tim,
With all of those parts in the floor how can you get the kids to sweep the floor. lol

Tennman · 10-06-2004, 11:04 AM

Too bad Tim's truck has aged better then he has !!!! *L* Just kidding . Maybe we just need a makeover like his truck ?!?!

Steven Sellers · 10-06-2004, 11:10 AM

We just went to Cades Cove in July. I used to go as a kid but my wife and kids had never been man it is an awesome view and nice history. We only saw one bear but thats cool.

Thanks for the info on Tim, I havent purchased from him or any vendor yet but its coming just have to many things to do now. It is nice to have vendors available with the reputation that Tim has.

AVATAR PIC LOOKS BLUE, LOOKS MORE GREEN IN PERSON, I THINK HE CALLED IT HAWAIAN TEAL.

Cheesewagon · 10-06-2004, 10:48 PM

Tim, man what a great looking truck. Being a wood worker all I can say is that you did one heck of a job with that wood in the bed. The wood grain is just perfect looking, with the way it repeats itself is just knock out. And that shop looks great too. Latter, the Cheese.

**Tim Christian** · 10-07-2004, 08:13 AM

Thanks guys for all the postive comments! Craig is was very nice having you up. I hope to finish this truck in the next couple of months. The parts bussiness has taken off so GREAT I never get time to work on the truck but I guess that is a good proplem to have!

**lock** · 10-07-2004, 10:08 AM

Wow, truck is looking sweet Tim!

*chevytruckfan* · 10-07-2004, 09:50 PM

Wow, look at all that perfect sheet metal just lying around. Too bad that not a picture of my garage floor!
