Default Update on Pops Truck

Cutting it close but plan on having it in its first parade on Labor Day! Painting the last fender tommorow then will have it all to put together There's still some interior work but will pretty much be done on the exterior. I'm having a well known local guy come on Thursday who can paint the signage just like it was in the 30's, like my great grandfather had it. It will bear his name as it did all those years ago. I think my grandfather would of liked it like that , as he would of remembered it as a kid in the 30's! I will post more pics once it's completed later in the week! Early on I got a lot of help on here, I very much appreciate it the help I got to bring a family treasure back to life! Bret

Congrats, great job. I also would like to see a lot of finished photos. Did you have the side boards done also?
