Thanks Pete.

I guess it will be interesting for me too.


Doubt there will be space for a tooth pick, let alone gifts Andy.



At the weekend I bought this trunk, ideal for a rat rod truck build.

Spent an hour cleaning it up for market. Pity I do not have a rat rod that needs a nice trunk like this.

I also spent some time on cleaning up the Silver Cross pram for Nicola.

Ideally it needs a resto but I have other fish to fry at the moment.

After all of our attempts on Saturday to get the ball joints pressed into the lower wishbones, Martin managed to get them done today.

So that's another little job done and one step closer in the reassembly.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
 

Guy's,

Have fantastic time in the US. Hope you have a lot of fun hunting for parts.

Bill

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
 

That trunk is gorgeous!!

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
 

Thank you Bill, I suspect we will.

Along with the face to face time with a load of amazing good guys from this forum in various places.

Mike, the trunk is for sale, as is everything in my life, except my integrity.


Booked our seats this morning when online booking opened.

Until we booked, the seats we wanted, twin row, right at the rear, meaning more space and less people crawling over you, were for sale as a pre-booking option at £43.00 per booking.

So by waiting till it opened, I guess we each now have another £43.00 or $65.48 to spend on spares.

Now we can probably say.......

A Road Trip for the ages.
It may not compare to your bike road trip in Africa but there are a few more truck parts here in the states that you might need.

Looking forward to meeting you guys here in Arkansas.

Thank you Vince.

The Efrican ride was a trip of a lifetime, for sure. Both physically and emotionally, being able to share it with my brother.......

The spares are a great concern...... They weigh a lot and a pain to get home, but Ido look forward to meeting a bunch of amazing people.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
 

Typically, I could not leave well alone.

So late afternoon I went and dragged out the truck and used the last of my rust converter on the chassis.

I left out the prop shaft and diff, will do them when I get back and get more Vactan.

This will be the last work I do till I get back.

Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
 

I know how you feel . I finished packing and went into the carport sanded down the underside , and put another coat on , as its now the other way up after we flipped the chassis over on Sunday
