Re: heres the progress of the build of my 57 chevy
Well good news!!! I actually recieved a phone call yesterday and my rad support has made it to vancouver. Im guessing a week and I should have it in my hot little hands. Im almost caught up on my other obligations and if all goes well, perhaps I maybe able to sneek alittle time in on the old pick up. feeling good about it, so hope nothing else gets in my way! lol I need to get it to primer! if I can get it in primer I maybe able to see a little light at the end of the tunnel.

Re: heres the progress of the build of my 57 chevy
Love the look of the truck! You do crazy awesome work. I wish I had the skill to do that. I'm just an apprentice mechanic though. Haha.

Re: heres the progress of the build of my 57 chevy
"my rad support is comming!!" "my rad support is comming!!!" I dont know how long this has been ordered now, but I will see it next week! its been four months now at least since I ordered it. living in a small town in canada in the middle of nowhere sucks when you need parts!! now perhaps I can get the frame completed!! I need to make some progress here soon, before I completely loose interest!! been eyeing up thoughs 72 chevy short boxes again!!!

Re: heres the progress of the build of my 57 chevy
well guys I have taken the long break from my pick up and began playing with another one. I had a 72 long box sitting in my pile of projects and decided to gather up all my pieces and put them together before the snow fell so that if I decided to pick away at it I would at least know where all my parts are at. nothing worse then snow up to your waist looking for something like a hood hing. Ive got a month left before my new family addition arrives, so Im in panic mode to get my stuff in order.

Re: heres the progress of the build of my 57 chevy
had to make it a short box. not a huge fan of long box pick ups. got the frame shortened and sandblasted and of course paint.
