I’m an addict.
Last week @wngrog finished up Project Mustard. It turned out fantastic and I absolutely love it. That project was very much an impulse buy - I woke up one morning and decided I needed another project and it just so happened that @thecrazygreek had listed the Mustard for sale. Well....as Nolen was wrapping up Mustard I started to get the impulse to start another project.
A week or so ago Nolen sent me a for sale ad on a 1964 short bed fixed top 45 series. I initially scoffed at the idea but the truck sort of stuck in my head. It would not go away. So as I was packing to fly over and pick up Mustard I decided to shoot @LeRoy Cordova a PM and see if we could chat about his 45. The following morning I was sitting in the FBO waiting on the weather to clear to fly while striking a deal with LeRoy to buy his 45. LeRoy probably thought I was crazy. He is absolutely correct.
Yesterday I flew down to check out the truck....it’s lovely btw. LeRoy is such a great guy and I’ve assured him I will overspend if necessary to ensure the truck can be returned to its original condition. Tomorrow a colleague is going to haul the truck from Boca Raton, Florida, over to Nolen’s outpost in Mississippi for probably my most ambitious project to date.
Here are a few photos of the truck from our impromptu meeting yesterday. Leroy was kind enough to drive the truck down to Signature Flight Support at the Boca airport for a quick viewing before I went to lunch with a client. This thing is an absolute gem.
