I ran around the entire time during the party but had the garage open all day and my truck was a hit:lol: had my first mini show. wish I had gotten pictures of everyone checking out my work. Felt good to see everyone enjoying my hard work. Can't wait for the local shows to start again next year......I will be driving my truck there:lol:

Re: project bagged 63 c10
 

Ok so time for a small update....
Was a little dissapointed that when I put my rear setup together to get her home I never cleaned up and painted the rearend.....was looking a little crusty:lol: cleaned it for like 2 days and then primed and painted it
I also have been looking for a tank that would fit out back under the raised bed but above the rails....came home from meeting a friend for one and had 2 more in my driveway when I got home....weird how that happens but not complaining, thanks guys. So I have 1 brand new tank from an older Vette and to LLV tanks...I'm leaning towards the lev tank since I already have a sending unit for it what do u think?vette tankhttp://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q...psc826834f.jpg
