Awesome project!!!
I noticed the thread started in 2011, How old is Darrah, now???

The awesome part is the relationship you have built with your child, many parents are clueless.
A parent only gets one shot at doing it right!!!
You get an A+ from me!!!

I really like the 60-66's. Just plain old work'n man's pickup!

Leaving the old wood can have it's advantages. You can use the pickup for what it was intended...w/o worrying about scratches, etc...

Nice! Is it going to be a 2 tone or is it going to be a solid color body with a different color for the grille and bumpers?

Solid with the grill and bumpers being the gray color and I think she wants the top of the dash gray also.

Matthew wanted Darrah to come by and sign off on her colors and boy was she happy. He painted some parts for her.

Not just looking great but also one of the colours that was on my mental short list for my truck. Before Nicola decided on the read.

I bet Darrah can't stop smiling right now, great work.

I have been following this build for quite a while. Very cool, the truck, Darrah, and the relationship you have, and building it together. I like it happening in stages and driving the truck throughout. Getting exciting now, for both of you. Keep us posted.
