New Addition

Here is the latest member of our garage. All 5 stalls are full now.....yes I know...pathetic when only 2 people in the household can drive. This '67 chevy shortbed 2 wheel drive has been Dana's dream since before we got together.....no kidding. He has always wanted to own and overhaul one. They are hard to find most of the time. But Dana found out a couple of years ago that one of his co workers happened to own one. It was his co worker's dad's truck. Dana told him that if he was ever interested in selling it he wanted to have first dibbs. Well last week the time came and "Ruby" joined our family. Ruby....I think that's what I am going to call her since she is such a gem!

There are definate plans to restore Ruby. Not to her original state though. Different color, different engine, no chrome, different wheels, the list goes on and on. Basically she will get an Extreme Makeover. However we do have a few goals to reach before her transformation will start. She did have one slight makeover already that required no money!!! We removed the HIDEOUSLY GOD AWFUL topper on the bed of the truck.



Do you know what that is my friends???? Yes, you are correct. It is a Jaguar leaper on the hood of the truck. And........NO...dana didn't put it there either! The previous owner did it about 18 yrs ago. Not knowing that a jaguar tech would be the one buying it from him down the road!!! Although the previous owner of this truck is the porsche tech where Dana works :)

Kennedy refuses to even get in the inside. Oh and she cries uncontrollably when her Daddy starts it up. She says she is scared of it. Gentry she stares at it and then goes on about her business as she does most of the time!!!

You shift it on the steering wheel. 3 on the tree

So now we have from "really old" to "kinda new".......a '67 chevy truck, a '78 trans am (yes he still has it!), a '95 nissan (yes I still have her!), a '95 GMC truck (yes Dana still has it!), and and '05 chevy suburban. All 5 of our vehicles MIGHT total the price of a really nice new one!!!
