Well today is a sad day.. Due to work, where I am with my flood damaged house in WY and place in life in general.. The 
and I have let Marley go live with a new family.
Finnyfam60 inquired about her over a year ago and I kept my side of the deal. If I ever sold her he would have first dibs..
I picked him up in Shreveport, then went and got a side of TEXAS cow for dinner along with some Black and Tan fixings.. MMMM BEER... had a good test drive, eats, and visit. He was on the road back to California at about 1 this morning.
For those of you that know him, he's an awesome fellow and had a beautiful cruiser in the making when he had to sell his Betsy to his brother. Long story short... his brother rolled Betsy.... So, he is parting out Betsy to help pay for Marley.. I think he has it up in the classifieds section. SO, help him out as a favor to me if you guys and gals needs and good parts.
He's about 300 miles into his journey back and in love with Marley.. She runs good... The 5 speed is a must for all that can swing it.
Thanks to all for input and feedback on this build. I've met some great people here and learned and help teach a ton. I won't be gone forever, but until I get things squared away I'll be a little out of the MUD pocket so to speak. I have my email triggered for PMs if anyone needs to get in touch with me.
Here is my Marley, the last clear pics I have of her in my custody, yesterday..
Cheers,
J

Don't worry guys, I gave J a big hug!!
I'm honored. Marley is nothing short of amazing! Jason is an artist!! We inked the deal, deposit made and I flew out sight unseen. Still need to pinch myself....

Holy crap! I'm sorry Jason! Congrats Finny!
GAAAAHHHH I'm on an emotional rollercoaster right now don't know where to go!!!
I think it's good to see Marley go for you J, only because I think you're not happy with idle hands... other than that let the healing process begin. Sorry to hear about the house, if I lived closer I'd be there with my tools my man.

Thanks Danny,
The area I live in WY is crap for residential construction contractors. SHADY F*&^#%s at best... A guy with skills and decent ethics could make a killing and live very well....
I'm not gone forever, The
said I could have her 80, but its 100% stock. I have a feeling another 60 or a Pig will show up one day..

I was thinking of you last night J. I wasnt sure if today was the day or next week. Excellent truck, but I know you will get something again.
Congrats Finny, hope your bro likes it!

Thanks Jas, I'm gonna take the morning off from Leo. Let my hand settle down a bit. Then I'll get back after it.
J
Wow, sad to hear for you J but at the same point this means that there will be room down the line for another pig!! I now understand why you havent been as active on the boards, my prayers and thoughts are with you guys!
I have learned a GREAT deal from you and appreciate you putting up with all the "newbish" questions. I will have more for you in the future (possibly tonight) as I start my journey in welding.
Finny, had I known I would have said for you to either swing through Reno or Carson and I would meet up with you for a beer. Unfortunately, we leave tomorrow for Carmel for the weekend and figure that you will be in the Reno area long before I am off work today. I'll send you a pm with my info just in case!

Cheers Greg! My goal is vegas around midnight, stay there with my bro (already there) and finish the drive tomorrow. I'll look for that pm!
Wow, J sorry to hear you circumstances and that you let go of Marley. I didn't post much on your threads but I did take a lot of what you wrote.
I been following the work you did with Marley and all the skills you have. I would of never of thought you would let Marley go by the way you wrote about her and all her mods.
Good luck to you and your family. And thank you for all the wealth of knowledge you shared. Nice to hear a cruiser head is takin care of Marley. I am sure she is in good hands. Look forward seeing you or reading about your next project soon. Take care!

Sad to see it go, but Marley is in good hands. Best wishes through your endeavors J.
Thanks guys for the kind words!
I've run over half a dozen tanks of gas through her in the last 24 hours, just shy of 1500 miles, and my bro will have to pry me out of her, literally and figuratively!! I love her!

Finny, should you find yourself in need of a hand and are somewhat close to San Diego let me know man! If you need bailed out of a Vegas cell I can't help you there

Thanks Dan! Heading through Barstow then prob up the central valley...
Pics would have been epic!!! Unfortunately there was a bit of a miscommunication/expectation on our itinerary (he almost got shot when he woke me up at 5am this morning!!), so we will have to make a return trip in the spring for some true vegas fun. I'm thinking a week long camping wheeling trip through death valley and then a night at the tables and buffets!!
