Got a truck!

I have spent the past several days combing Craigslist, looking for a late-model Nissan Frontier. Nissan apparently makes two sizes of pick-up truck...the Frontier is smaller and the Titan is...well...Titan.  Found a 1998 in High Ridge, MO.  It has 250,000 miles on it, so it has lived a good life.  But it is in remarkably good condition. No rust, only a few little dings that we can work out or Bondo over the top of.

I looked at it yesterday afternoon and called Scott.  We made an offer for less than they were asking, but they took it.  So, Monday morning I will drive down with check in hand and drive back in our "hardbody"

It is going into storage for a while. I need to get the set for "Night of the Living Dead" out of my shop first. Then I can move it in and begin the process of transforming this beauty into our truck for the show. While it shows well in pictures, there is an awful lot of faded trim, grimy and scuffed wheels, etc to fix and then a shiny coat of cherry red paint over the faded gold.. Not to mention that we have to tear it down to carry it up a flight of stairs at the theater and rebuild it on stage.
