LMAO, I read the story, didn't think much about the punctuation.  Then I read this quote, reread the story and laughed. That's funny.

Heh, im a member on a couple forums where a post like that with no punctuation marks would have gotten all manner of comments like that... lol. So i guess it's just a habit. At least it helps newer people understand that a post like that is hard to read. And when asking for help (which is a big part of what forums are used for) you want people to at least be able to understand you.

Awesome chevyman. I hope it works out well. Did you tell your dad what you're up to? I gotta show this to my boys.

Great story, that's cool you have the truck your dad built back. And for 1500 it sounds like a good deal too. Are those ChooChoo Customs ground effects on it? How long ago was the truck built by your dad? And in one day you have it down to frame? LOL  You work a whole lot quicker than I do!
