'64 C10 partial resto write-up

I found this on google, not sure if you've seen it before, but he takes a 64 Chevy and does a lot of work to it, cosmetic and rust repair and whatnot. A real budget build, or, should I dare say it, you could almost call it a RAT ROD.

Yeah I've read through that whole build. It's pretty cool. I'd call it a budget build, its definitely too well built to be considered a rat, in my opinion.

Re: '64 C10 partial resto write-up

I applaud the guy for going for it and at the same time laugh because he put in a lot of effort and could of gone just a little farther for a better outcome.

However I'd high five him for all the work because hes way farther ahead than I am and did it his way.

yes I commend him for trying but if he ever sells it the next guy is going to be in for some surprises.

Re: '64 C10 partial resto write-up

haha I guess I didn't remember it very well. I read it all a few years ago and didn't remember it being that rough!
