Re: Project "Black Betty" (bam-A-lam)

So, I figured I'd update you guys again & share a few pics from this Fall/Winter. "Black Betty" has a new resting place. While not inside anymore, she's under cover of a shed/carport at my late grandparents' house in Northeast Mississippi. I was down that way for the first time in a long while last weekend, & I must say it broke my heart to see the truck sitting there like that. I vow to get it going again in 2017, & I'm on the lookout for someone to help. I contacted one local shop, but they're full until at least Fall/Winter 2017. I'd really like to get it back on the road by Spring/Summer. So, I'll be checking around for other options. I have both mechanical and cosmetic things I'd like to have done. If any of you have suggestions, I'm open to anyone I can trust that's not too far away in the Southeast.

Here's a link to some pics from a show the local UAW held this past October. It was a Chevy-only show:
