4th of July!

Post by Conn »

Well, it's been three years now that dad and I have been working on our CCKW, and it's come a long way. Today dad let me drive it in our local parade through town... What a thrill! We both really appreciate all the encouragment, help, and tech. advice several of you have given us over the past couple years and to be able to truely finally EXPERIENCE history has been a tremendous privilege. Though we haven't quite posted to many times here, we were sure to always check for the latest tips and news... Thank you!
Gordon & Michael Conn

Please enjoy this picture of our progress...cause these sort of things never end :)

Looking good! you should bring it up to Troy next weekend fro the show at the WACO museum. Should be a great time.
Would your truck have been the one sitting in Mechanicsburg,OH along with a 1 1/2 Chevy? They were there a couple of years ago and now they are both gone.

Micheal will be gone this week, we may try to make Waco late saturday or sunday. Probably woun't have time to bring the truck. Our truck is not the one you have seen in Machnicsburg, ours has been a resident of Fayette county since 1947.
