Re: 58 GMC Project
 

I'm glade everyone followed my build over the years. I had a lot of fun with the truck.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Thanks Kim! Your inside the cab on your 57 turned out well.

Gotta love those Chevelles :metal:

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Cal...finally made it thru your thread and have to say..you and Bam have been a huge inspiration. Always wanted to paint my truck prowler orange and then saw yours! Not sure what to do now lol...sorry you sold it but I love the Chevelle and that color is amazing too. Was the orange factory or did you add pearl or??? to it? Thanks again for the inspiration!!

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Hey Cal58GMC, my buddy had a carshow / get together at his house and look what showed up. I can tell the guy is really enjoying the truck you sold him he is all smiles when he drives it.lol The truck still looks amazing.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Bam, did you talk to the owner? Wait until you see the 56 he is having built.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

It was there also.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

The 56 pick up or the belair?

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Check my feed. Think it's on the second to last page. Pictures of the pickup being built to match the bel air.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Kept the seats and had them recovered and all new everything else. I havent seen it back up at the shop so i dont know how it all came out, but i am sure it is really nice.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

It's been a long time since I checked my old build page and look and see what my buddy Kabwe found! I try not to think about my old truck to much because when I do I miss it. Good to see it again though!

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

I can't blame you for that man, after all its a beautiful truck. You done a great job on it.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

I don't get back to the forum much anymore since this thread has gone quiet. I'm subscribe to this thread and a couple of others. I only visit when I get email notifications.

I haven't seen another truck build as nice as this one. I'd love to subscribe to another build thread similar to this one.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

There are a bunch of great build threads. Kabwe's & Kim's are just a few if your not already a subscriber to I would recommend you do.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Thanks for the kind words Cal.
Hows the Chevelle coming?
Kim

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

It's getting close to being on the road. Just need to finish wire and interior.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Cal - I guess I can't really add anything more than what everyone has already said along the way during this build other than.... INCREDIBLE BUILD!

Im glad I found it here; in searching images over the years for '55-59 Chevy trucks your truck has come up alot. It is like a 'fixture' for the essence of a true custom chevy truck now and I think I can speak for the entire amateur customizer world of builders that you have created a true work of automotive art.

The Pros like Kindig, Foose, Coddington, Mayer, Steuer and Shine should be proud that somebody can put something like this together in such great detail.

Hats off to you Sir for some great inspiration for all of us "Homey-Builders"! ;)

Thank You

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Thanks for the kind words PTC!

Re: 58 GMC Project

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Well your son had a really nice ride in High School. That is a very nice truck.

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Thanks Kabwe! that was back in the days when 15 inch wheels were still cool! :lol:

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Man i just stumbled across your thread ( just a tad bit last after your truck build is over). I still remember seen your truck in the classic truck mag and saying "what an awesome color and truck as well. i still have that issue and glance at it every now and then. you did an outstanding job :metal:

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

Thanks Slammed!

Re: 58 GMC Project
 

I pulled the Chevelle out yesterday and snapped a few pics.

Re: 58 GMC Project

66 is my favorite year and I hope to have another some day.
