Off the trailer!

And finally, after a few weeks and a letter from the home owners' association, the Apache 10 gets down from the trailer and into the garage.

Here we go!!!!

Woo-Hoo! Rolling the truck from the trailer to the garage almost felt like taking a ride!

The new bedroom

Well there it is! The Apache 10 made it into its new bedroom while the metamorphosis takes place.

What once used to be a game room will become a shop to work on the truck...and even a small scrapbooking room to document the process!

We are very excited about getting started, it is now just a matter of time.

Getting Inspired

Saturday May 3rd, 2008.

Thank God dreaming doesn't cost a dime, because for all we know and have heard....it is going to be a challenge and a huge expense to get our Apache 10 to look half as beautiful as this 1948 Ford Coupe.

Well, it's okay~ It is a shared dream and a team effort...we'll get there!

Magic 48

Saturday May 3rd 2008.

We got together with our friends Ann, Bobby and Donna, who brought her amazing Hot Rod to give us plenty of inspiration and lots to look forward to.

Mrs. Donna Bohls is the proud owner of this magnificent 1948 Ford Coupe that she calls "Magic 48", the pictures aren't as incredible as this car is when you look at it in front of you.

Donna is a member of the Long Star Street Rod Association, we'll be joining her during the State Run the weekend of May 18th, in Fredericksburg TX.

We are so much looking forward to going to check out all of the cars!....You could too! if interested visit http://www.lssra.com/ for membership and show information.

kids just want to have fun

Saturday May 3th, 2008

Of course magic 48 is a magnet...it doesn't matter if you are an adult or a kid, this beautiful vehicle will catch your attention and make you want to have a car just like this one.

The boys checked out the inside of the hot rod while I took this photo ...I can see our Apache 10 in the background...the fun is just about the begin!

Deep Thoughts

Wednesday, April 30th 2008.

Wow...when I saw him looking at his truck like this, I actually saw some of his thoughts.

I admire a man that dreams, and I admire a man that shares and pursues his dreams.

We discussed colors, themes, and the final name for the vehicle.

Being miss little paranoid as I am, I have decided to copyright the name before we announce it.

We are excited.

And they say women are "the curious" ones.

Wednesday, April 30th 2008.

We barely stood up there for a few minutes, and "the guys" started to show up and ask all kinds of questions...and of course offered their "free" advice.

The guy in the far left is Dustin, (Chris's friend and next door neighbor) the other guys are his band members; they were "practicing" their tunes when they saw Chris standing outside and decided to come and have a "male bonding" moment.

I know Chris is proud of the truck...because he can see the beauty in the beast as he himself says.

The driveway as of today.

Wednesday April 30th, 2008.

It was a long day at work for both of us, but we finally made it home and of course after the usual house chores, we decided to go outside and talk about THE truck and the ideas we are coming up with.

Everybody along the street is getting curious...we know it is a matter of time to get "THE" letter from the home owners association; it's okay, we are waiting for it to then move the vehicle to a temporary location while we work on somehow having a place where we can have easy access to it and as often as we want.

We wonder if we have enough trucks parked in the driveway...what do you think?
