Man, I'm OD green with envy! Wow what a fast turn-around!! She looks great!!

 

[OPCOM]

It is very nicely done!

Outstanding work! You know, if I hadn't been able to purchase the xm757 8x8, that little goat would have been sitting in my backyard, that's the deal Chris and I had. Of course, it would have taken a year or more to to what you did in a couple of months. Congrats!

 

[CCATLETT1984]

Great, now you can drive down with us to aberdeen!!!

You should never put "goat" and "date" in a subject together. In some parts of the country it might be mistaken for courtin'

No kidding Bjorn. It definitely got quicker service than we could have provided Can't wait to see her up close John.

If it gets real hot outside at Aberdeen, can we use your bilge pump to cool off? It would be like a redneck version of city-kids around a fire hydrant

 

[maddawg308]

WAY TO GO! Glad to see it's all completed and ready for the trip up to Aberdeen!

 

[citizensoldier]

Nice work John!! You da man! So when do I drop off my deuce for a compete rebuild in 2 months?
Still working on the Aberdeen trip. Fighting on multiple fronts.. Not sure yet but trying.. I will keep you posted.

 

[Armada]

Fighting on multiple fronts..

Let us know if you need re-enforcements!! A note from your doctor, maybe??? lol

 

[jfnemt1ff1]

Chris I never even thought about the build in sprinkler system. Now that would be cool.

4 months, way to get it done! Must not have wasted too much time while working on it. I did my 715 in 4 month. I just love the look on peoples faces when they ask you how many years had you been working on it and you drop the 4 month bomb. For all you guys who spend years doing a resto job, here's you clue: Move to Michigan for the winter, find a nice warm garage, and work on your truck. It's not like there are too many other normal activities you can do in the winter here. Unless you are a snowmobiler (then you're praying for the white stuff instead of cursing it).

Great Goat Day

Today was the day for the first Goat road test. What a Blast put about 120 miles and even a trip down the interstate a little loud but 60 mph was cool.here is the final pics thanks to Dave for the help on the decals.

[67Beast]

Looks great! I'm glad you liked the decals, let me know if you need anything else. You probably got quite the looks blasting down the hiway in the old goat.

 

[jfnemt1ff1]

While am putting my Goat up for sale. During the winter during the rebuild it help me deal with my PTSD. Now its starting to ack up again. My doc tell me maybe try another project. I will place a ad here but ill start here $15,000.00. Many new parts looking into a 5ton wrecker.
