    @wore out I'm sure you noticed my numbers and all where on the sleeper. I did that for a reason. Trying to get off the ground and need all the numbering NOW, so a neighbor did it all for free. @Logan76 has seen my home and shop, and I'm sure he can tell ya I'm Oldskool ;). That being said.... I plan on eventually having my name & numbers being on the door, if you think back to the 60's / 70's / 80's that's generally where you always seen them.
    Personally I think for a little Oldskool kick, a nice scroll border as I call it would look good. Name, numbers done up in not so flashy Gold trimmed in a Burgundy color may go quite well?

    Yeah, any repairs must be done off the turnpike :( I found that out in 2008 when my trailer valve started pissing as I pulled into the Vince Lombardi. Could bobtail fine, but none of the other company guys wanted to come down thru the city and grab my trailer. $850 to tow me 1.8 miles, and $55 for the valve which I replaced myself in the tow yard parking lot.

    Ghey.

    I’m with ya on all that.

    What color is your interior? I struggle with that a lot when I think about paint and decals for mine someday. My interior is grey/blue, so I guess I need to do a color scheme that matches unless I wanna change interior colors, which I have no interest in doing.

    Kinda wish it was all grey in here so it would match anything.

    Couple years ago I saw a guy on the shoulder screaming at a police officer looking like he was about to get violent, with one wheel off and the spare out, because he had gotten a flat on his car and the ramp truck was there about to hook up and drag his ### up on the bed. Pretty hard to understand at that moment.

    We pulled a couple leaf springs off the back to make it sit more level.
    I'm thinking one of these may be my hot rod vehicle. Same stance, big V-8 & C-6 automatic, drop the badges off the sides, black/dark red or burgundy color, a little bit of subtle pinstriping. A mildly dressed up sleeper.


    I've set up a donation box by the door.:D

    Do kids even cruise anymore?
    I know my kids did, but they're all in their 30s now.
