Re: 58 GMC Project
 

CAL 58 GMC, just wanted to say thanks for such a terrific write up on your build. That is truly one of the finest trucks I've ever seen and a huge motivator to get my '67 done. The paint is gorgeous. I need to clean the drool off my shirt now. Well worth the 36-page-thread read.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Thanks 67Fleet! As I've said before, the pleasure really is all mine and to sheared my build with everyone has been fun. Thanks man!

I'm planning on going to the Old Town show. It's at the Elk's Lodge on the 18th. There's a show in Readly that same day. The show in Selma is on the same day as Cam Twisters show on the top of river parks garage and I'm going to that show. By the way, are you ever going to come visit with your Dad?

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Yesterday I went to a local annual car show "Hot August Daze". The show had some nice Hot Rods and Trucks. There was a really cool Shelby 427 Cobra there also. At the end of the show they started calling off the awards from 1920's 1930's 1940's and so on for best of class. When they got to the 1950's the guy called “And the best of class for the 1950’s is…The 1958 GMC” WOW my truck! Cool!! So, I walk back to my truck and they continue on with the awards. Now they call off for "Best Interior" and the guy says “And best interior goes to the 1958 GMC” What? He called out my truck again! I thinking "who...me...again?" So I walk up and get my second award! Now I'm thinking WOW I can't believe it, I won two “Best of awards”! So now comes time for the show winner, "Best of Show" so I sitting back thinking about all of the really cool Hot Rod, Muscles Cars and Classic and who's going to win. Well, he calls off, “And the winner for Best of Show goes to the 1958 GMC" WHAT? I’m saying to myself. ME? I WON BESTOF SHOW?? Now this took me totally by surprise!! So I walk up for the third time. The guy shakes my hand and said "As the show winner your invited back next year where your truck will be displayed upfront by it's self as show winner from 2007. Next year event T-shirt will have my truck on it! What an honor, I'm still in shock!!

Re: 58 GMC Project
