Well Terry, look at it this way. What could you get at the used car lot for
what you will eventually put into this truck? A '95 Taurus? Instead,
you're going to have a vehicle that will turn more heads than a Ferrari!
Don't forget that the 3 1/2 year journey is part of the fun. Hey, anybody
can go out and buy a finished truck but you'll be able to say "I did that".
Enjoy the time its off at the shop and then you'll be ready to tackle it
when it gets back. Good luck!!!
