My Kenworth has all kinds of wire ties underneath I am kind of amazed that this is OK with everyone Ha ha I guess it’s OK with the scales because somebody brought it up through Truckee last week and got an inspection sticker that would’ve been funny if the guy told him I can’t give you a sticker with all those wire ties under there ….. bob -

Oooooooooooo just to get it straight,,, Reno show I stormed out of not Fontana….. the speedway show was a blast….. Bob

I stormed out of there early walking around with a FedEx uniform on and everybody was turning their noses up in the air didn’t see anybody very friendly I said well this doesn’t really look like my kind of crowd… bob

I did see something that looked like it might have been one or something close that was behind a repair shop in Minden Nevada it was all in primer somebody was in the middle of restoring this thing it appeared …that was about six years ago it did have that overall appearance that’s the closest I’ve ever gotten to one other than moms car…. With 3000 pounds of chrome inside and out you would think they would have been more of a big hit… Bob

Thanks for that that’s the only time I’ve ever seen them is in pictures you would think more people would be restoring them…: bob

That looks fabulous and yes Matt there are used to be a lot of old-timers around here that would let me Rome around the back lawnmower repair auto parts since then they’re all gone newer generation doesn’t really want you to do that as far as radiator goes I don’t know why you don’t just run water in it for a while personally I would swap it out or at least try to that way it won’t be on your mind constantly radiator core is have always been a fortune I got a price for an F model 40 years ago it was 800 bucks great progress that front end looks amazing..Bob -

There was a lot of them in my town delivering freight law transportation back in the 60s early 70s when I was just a young kid I always like them even back when I was a young boy and they all had the hubcaps and yes ten-4 on the too much to do but I suppose it would be worse get up and have nothing going on as Paul mentioned… bob -
