    Wow! Marge is indeed LARGE! That's quite the profile she has! PMK? Should I know that name?

    Rich at Purple Monkey Kustoms is doing the work for me. Can't thank that man enough for what he is going to be doing to Marge for me. Actually, I still can't believe it's actually happening & I'm kinda numb. After 22yrs of owning it & driving it only once with my son just two weeks before he went to Iraq about 10yrs ago Large marge is on her way to PMK's shop in sunny Florida. Many thanks goes out to my wife, son, brother, sister and many friends who helped me over the years & helped today w/the loading. But most of all I have to thank Mom & Dad (may they RIP) they themselves are the reason Marge is being finished...joe

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    I ran the link as a slideshow this morning...

    It was great fun! Thanks for sharing that. I'm thinking that now the hard part begins for you, the waiting and expectations.. but after 22 years you are almost there!

    Marge has landed in Florida.
    PMK thinks it'll be about 3 weeks or so before he starts on her because of other projects being finished & a few are ahead of mine. Lot's of pics will be taken & shared. Man I feel like a 10yr old kid waiting to open that special Christmas present...joe

    After waiting 22yrs, the few months it's suppose to take to finish Marge will go by like a flash in the pan.
    It'll be done sooner then I'd even think it could be.
