You mind me asking about how much it cost to bring it to its current condition not including price of truck?
I have a 55 that I would like to get to that shape and am curious roughly what it may cost me.

Lastly where did you get your seats for it? Im needing seats badly

Hello Guys,

I am new to this so bear with me. lol I have a 58 chevy apache that has all the orignal steering and suspension. i recently bought a 73 camaro clip for it. i am working on getting the rest of the peices together for it (four link) (rear end) ect.

my question is does anyone know of a good place in california that installs these clips that actually does good work. i have ran into nothng by flakes so far and want to make sure the work is top notch.

thanks Craig

For anyone interested this is were I am on the Chevelle. Here is before and after paint. He still needs to paint the hood and fenders.

Chevelle looks great.
66/67 are my favorite years. I had a 66 for a while but had to give it up after my back injury.

Perfect paint choice for the chevelle! My older brother had one kick myself for not buying it for $600. Oh well maybe someday I will find another deal

Yes I did sell it:whine:. It was a hard thing to do and let her go but it was time. Now I can focus on the Chevelle, it's coming home from paint this weekend. I sold it to a guy down in so-cal. I felt good about were it was going, he's a car guy that I know he will be taken good care of it. All of my friend in so-cal if you see it go up and talk to the guy, he's a good dude and he can tell you about the Cameo truck he's building.
