65 LB Full Poterbuilt
New guy here, Picked this up at the Big 3 Swap meet in San Diego, No Rust! Interior clean, Body fair. I threw some air bags on for the Del Mar Good Guys. Now the tear down begins. My goal is to have it 100% done by next years Del Mar Good Guys.
I'm inspired by Delmo's trucks and "Simple Green" Not to mention many others on this site. This is a great site with a lot of good ideas and everyone is willing to help, glad to be a part of it. So I guess I'm kissing ass in case I need some help as this build goes along! LOL. I'm going the Simple Green route. Smooth body, Flat silver, Black roof, Black Wheels. Got some ideas... WISH ME LUCK! THANKS ROB! Here she is....Day 1, 364 to go.

Re: 65 LB Full Poterbuilt
Welcome from San Diego! Nice find. Sounds like a nice plan and should look nice in that color combo.
If you get a chance, check out our local truck club. Link in sig. Keep the pics coming!

Re: 65 LB Full Poterbuilt
Welcome Rob...
Great truck to start with and your plans sound great. I am flattered that people dig my trucks style as much as i do. I love following all these clean builds on this forum, and plenty of good advice here also. You will be happy with nate's products and how fun it is to put it all together. Have a good one, Jesse |

Re: 65 LB Full Poterbuilt
Thanks for the Welcomes!
Chevy_Mike, I have already check out your website! Looks like a bunch of cool trucks. Jesse, Your truck and the build is bad ass, look out for PMs from me looking for advise. Dino, I saw you and your trucks as well, I was the guy laying on the ground trying to see under your trucks. Got to meet Delmo you were busy wrapin with someone so I didnt get a chance to intro myself. Your truck was SO COOL! |

Lovin' the plans you've got for it. I like the look of flat silver and the black should make it look mean
