Nice truck Matt! Sounds like you spent plenty of time working on it, not to mention the $$$. But thats usually how it goes...

Welcome to FTE, congrats on the marriage, and hope you can make it out to some of our get togethers (GTG).

Welcome to the clan! That's a real nice ride you have there.
Rule #1 of marriage..significant other never blocks the view of the truck; we can't read all the decals!!

Hope to see this truck in person some time!
