Between him and you he can write s story of the restoration and he can accept digital photos with no problem.. There was actually an article on the original find in Double Clutch magazine around 2002. My ex-wife wrote it and submitted it. When I was checking in when I arrived at Macungie, one of the editors grabbed me and asked if I could do a follow on article about the whole restoration to submit. It's been 23 years since that original article, so I must've set some kind of record for actually completing the restoration. A real "I'm going to restore that truck one day" story that did get done and not rot into the ground. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41547-b-73-restoration/page/89/#findComment-578354 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say it is time to put your wife (just saw the word ex) back to work and write another article for both magazines. 😀 When I spoke with Darin, via email, about him writing an article about Dean's LJ truck after I sent in the pictures of it at the Dark Corner show he sorta bounced it back at me to write the article.. A project for me this Fall??? 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41547-b-73-restoration/page/89/#findComment-578355 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A project for me this Fall??? Well, she's long gone and I have a much better one now. After that conversation at Macungie, I figured I'd put together an outline and build on it from there. Shouldn't take too long, at least not as long as the restoration did. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41547-b-73-restoration/page/89/#findComment-578356 Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve s. Posted 25 minutes ago Share Posted 25 minutes ago Matt, that was me who spoke to you in Macungie. Your truck turned out great. All of your time and effort paid off in a big way. We are glad you were able to make it to the show and that your trip went well. We would be happy to have your "follow up" story on the B73 in Double Clutch. I recall that your B42 was a feature story in DC years ago, too.
