always glad to see your posts and pictures. i am a self taught dodge guy and always appreciate seeing trucks being used. i love orig trucks like the wilbur. what i would really like to have, once in my life is a perfectly or overrestored flat fender like the one in the advert. having a 100% completed project that needed only an annual oil change and proper exercise would fit my busy schedule. my command car restoration has taken over 14 years because life doesn't stop and i don't put pressure on myself to work on something that is supposed to be enjoyable. i have loved every minute of it, but not having a clean runner since i sold my m37 in 2004 is problematic for a guy that likes driving them. never could see bashing someone else's vehicle or being jealous or concerned about what someone else has done. im sure a guy like clint dixon or fred coldwell could eyeball any ffpw and find a glitch, a hiccup or an error, but the cool thing about them is they don't make any public declaration about it. if you are short cash and long labor, skills, and time you can make a nice truck over many years. will it be worth 69k? will you have gotten $1mm of enjoyment (whatever the price) is the real question we should be asking.
