Sweetheart's Money Pit Returns Home

The Sweetheart started this project 5 years ago before his leg was amputated.
After that he wasn't able to do the restoration work any longer.
So a friend has done most of the work.
 And that friend has had it for 3 years in his garage!
Today it came back home to our live in our Garage.
 I really wish I could tell you it is finished but sad to say it is not!
The air condition needs to go in and the interior hasn't been done yet.
Oh, I can see this being another few years of waiting.
I can say that it has been a pay as you go project so there is no debt,
thank heavens!
Once home, he let my Big Baby, Travis take him for a ride!
Good times!!
I told him that it looked like a
very expensive "Photography Prop" to me!
What y'all think?

Fantastic photo prop!

I admit.. I LOVE old trucks and cars too! ~ Wish it was working for you though!

It's gorgeous!! I bet he's so happy to have it back in his garage.
I think it would make an awesome photography prop. Might as well work with it. Maybe you can finance the rest of the repairs that way! :)

Oh my goodness....I love it! I've told my family often that I would love an old truck, just to sit in my yard as decor. As well as the old barn and tractor - ha!

We had a truck like that, when it wsn't cool to have a truck like that.

Your hubby looks totally like a GQ ad.

I'll be he was giddy sitting in it.

What a fun thing for him to have.
Pay as you go...smartest way, although it is hard to wait sometimes isn't it.

In the event that you get interminable back agonies, go to the chiropractor normally to keep more wounds from showing up.
