Heffelfinger, Ellyn
From Perkiomenville PA

Ellyn from Perkiomenville, PA sent us some before and after pics of her '51 Dodge pickup. She writes: "I bought this truck in 1977. It was painted bright orange with a 4” paint brush. It was driven until 1979 and then parked. I always said, someday, I would fix it up and drive it again. No one would believe me, not even my husband.

"For the next 28 years the truck sat in the field/driveway. Every time I moved, I would have a flatbed come tow it to the new place.

"Thanks to my nephew, who spent countless hours getting it back on the road in 2007. Thanks, Rob.

"I am having so much fun with this truck, taking my great-nieces and nephews to car shows, parades, etc. Even my husband likes it now.

"So, if you have a dream, follow it and have fun. It took me 28 years, but I did it."
