Re: ReBirth: My 71' custom 10
You are on target.
Safety items first and then knock of your list one at a time. Good luck. Looks like your truck has good bones and its a keeper

Re: ReBirth: My 71' custom 10
Looks like a good start. I think the first item of business should be removing the number from the door. It makes it look like it's ready to be used in the next crash derby lol
