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

[Grizz1963]

Last part ( Part 5 ) of this hand wash basin build.

It is interesting how much time and resource it actually takes to complete something as simple as this.

Makes me realise why someone would charge £200 for this without batting an eyelid.

Once the basin and stand was complete the job I had not had a solution for actually did come together one evening on the way home from Sally’s house.
Along the way there is a house known as Ivy House for obvious reasons. An absolute knob lives there DAMHIK
Anyway, out on his sidewalk at his 6 foot gate, I saw an old Jerry can laying. Obviously for a scrap collector to pick up. So I turned around and fetched it.
Faded, rusted, clearly not in good health but intact, I planned on using it for the relocated fuel filler neck on my 66 C10 truck as I had a very dented and damaged one, but this was much better.

UNTIL I REALISED IT WOULD BE A GREAT WATER RESERVOIR.

So I fetched it and cleaned it, as per video attached.

I found an old brass tap in my stash and added it to the Jerry can.

Job done once I cleaned it all some more and filled it with fresh water.

Using some steel shelving on hand to support the water it makes for a perfect tool.

I guess that’s the end of this little build.

Thanks to those of you taking the time to comment on here and on YouTube.

Much appreciated.
