Okay, I added a link to the video of all the pics taken yesterday. Check it out.

You can get a little backstory on my project truck by clicking on the link in my signature and viewing the first page of posts.

My rolling chassis is just about complete. Airride equipped and all that jazz. Everything was normal until my friend bought a camaro. He picked up a '71 camaro with original paint. I told him I'd keep my eyes open to see if I could pick up a nice '68 original paint body to go on my rebuilt chassis.

Then last month N2Billet started a post about his new project "Swingset". He mentioned selling Lucy and having to sell Ethel to get some funds to throw at project Swingset. I contacted him about Ethel and a few weeks later she was in my driveway!

Ethel is a perfect fit not only because of the original paint, but she's a '68 short/fleet, blue with the white top, and has the factory side moulding. It's exactly the color scheme I had in mind.

So currently all efforts are to get the cab on my chassis and get the engine fired up and see what I'm dealing with that way. If all goes as planned, things should wrap up pretty quickly the next few weeks. I don't expect to have her ready for the trip to Missouri though. Kinda bummed about that... but we'll see!

Now that high speed video is VERY cool! If we could only work that fast. How do you get away with doing that in a vacant parking lot? Where are you storing the parts?

That video is great!

That is actually my driveway! I'm blessed to have the garage space and a driveway like that to do this work. I'll get some better pictures when I get home (if it isn't raining), but my garage is in the basement on that side of the house, so all the parts are in there, along with my other cab, bed and frame.

Oh yeah, and thanks guys! The video turned out just like I'd hoped. I'll try to do another one in the next week or so if the weather cooperates.

Way cool! It looks like an Indy pit stop that ran a minute or two over- I could buy a lot of pizza for friends like that
