well, the problem is we've been married 12 years, i can't just throw it all to hell because she doesn't like something that i do...

well then thats why you keep it to piss her off
maz duh   +1y
How about keeping it because YOU like it? Nobody is going to like every last thing that their significant other likes, thats how life works. At the end of the day its just a truck, she needs to get over it so you can get on with the build!

so why cant this be the fam cruiser
jumbo   +1y
thanks, Maz. Tuckin, it can't be a fam cruiser because she won't ride in it because she hates it so much. Apparently, it's women repellant. I've had 4 trades fall through in the last few weeks because guys' wives didn't like it, lol. I was just thinking if it doesn't matter how much room it has, why not go with a hot rod or rat rod or something like that? I like the burb, don't get me wrong, but i think i'd like a slammed 50's hot rod more, i think. But doesn't matter, i'm tired of jacking yall around with this, i'm going to at least finish it first. Get the interior in and dash lined out, at least. I'll post new pics as soon as i can!!

wow, long time, no update. Well, since my last post, i've almost traded it, tried to sell it, wanted to drive it off a cliff, but the title's still in my name :D

Ok, yall remember what the dash looked like? Here's a refresher:

I got another 08 dash, it fit side to side but the steering column was off center in the 08 column hole...
