beautiful.:cool:

Seriously, if that truck were mine I would just finish the paint job, polish up the wheels, and call it done (visually anyways). I really dig the look of your truck.

Thanks, really the only other thing I want to do to the exterior is save up for some new wheels and a cowl hood, not sure what wheels yet though.

Yeah its always worth it in the end. But I go to school, work at a body shop, and my truck has more dings and dents than I can count lol. But I like body work, could care less for motors though. I am in love with your truck now, paint looks amazing.

Nice truck man. My dad and I did a few father son restos and I have been doing them ever since the best thing you can do with your dad. I started on an s-10 when I was 13 and I still own it now at 27 I will give you a hint its fast. : ) Keep up the good work.

Good looking ride man, really sweet. You know though, ol' Pistol Pete would look good on there too. ;)

Looks great. Doing it as a father and son project is that much better.

Nope, nothing lately. Next thing to be done will most likely be exhaust.

Re: My first project truck - 84 Chevy swb

Gotta get some headers, and I want flowmaster 40's with turndowns before the rear axle. But i was also thinking about the thrush welded mufflers from summit since they're alot cheaper.
