Finally getting some TLC

After 14 years of ownership and 8 years of sitting I finally scrapped together enough parts to get the truck going again.
 
Although I have been tinkering with it for the last 2 years I realized I couldn't find the time needed to get it up and going this year so I sent it off to Roy.. and boy does he have his work cut out for him.
 
I am very excited to finally be back behind the wheel of my hummer.

Yes, she unfortunately needs a lots of love. Last night was the first night since Friday night in which I had a good sleep lol. Keep thinking about what I want to do with it when it is back up and running.

I have not been to Roy's in quite a while as my truck is running perfect, but when I see this kind of stuff this just reassures why I love his shop the guy goes over and above to do a good-looking job
