Thanks Fred! I was blown away when they gave me the largest pic and lead spot in the article.
The ironic thing...2 weeks ago I blew the rear end and it's now parked till I can get it fixed. Probably won't get to it until spring when it warms up a bit. So much for the "daily driver" title! *LOL*

ROTFLMAO!
Yeah...Boyd and the rest better watch out now that I'M on the scene! The cost of primer is sure to climb now. The big shops will be selling off all their CNC machines and picking up a rusty hack saw and a 110V stick welder. "Billet" will be stricken from the rodder's vocabulary forever. I can see it now... *LOL*
Cool little side note...Mattel has issued a number of Hot Wheels hot rod castings this year with a primer finish, including a series of 4 cars called "Rat Rods", in primer and whitewalls. Too cool!!

Hey guy, I checked out your ride in the R&C mag. I'm jealous that you have a daily that can also haul parts too.
The icicles were a nice touch, where do you order those??LOL
Even though you say you blew the rear end, keep the faith, at least your fifteen minutes of fame will actually last longer than that...Good job.

Thanks Woody!
When I got home from work I noticed the icicles on the fenders and knew I had to take some pics. Most people didn't believe me when I told them I drove it in the winter. I sent R&C 25 different shots of the truck, I'm glad they used that one. :-)
The only thing that will help me get up and running sooner is a nice warm garage. Still haven't gotten around to building one.
