We had a big show today at Imboden.

My wife got a 2nd place in production 1971 to 1981 with her camaro. And I got 1st with the 65 GMC in project class.

dwcardfan · 08-15-2015, 08:34 PM

We had over 140 cars and trucks at the show. Very good turnout.

Had a chance to sit and get caught back up.

Congrats to you and your wife on bringing home the trophy's.

**TJ's Chevy** · 08-15-2015, 11:54 PM

Well deserved wins for the both of you!

dwcardfan · 08-16-2015, 09:16 AM

Thanks guys. We had a big time. Just had 3 of our trucks there. Had more 55-57 and 67-72 trucks. But there was a big variety of cars and trucks. Got to see some folks I have not seen in a while and meet some new people. I normally would not show my truck. I just like driving it to the shows and looking. Thanks for checking in.

dwcardfan · 08-18-2015, 10:30 AM

Well the fun is over and it's back to work on it.

I am in the process of making the hood straight. I am not real fond of body work but it has to be done.

Ta2Don · 08-18-2015, 10:34 AM

I am not striving for perfection on mine, with that being said, I feel ya on the bodywork

dwcardfan · 08-18-2015, 11:29 AM

Well if I was striving for perfection I don't think I would ever get done.

So is the bed still in waiting mode due to the fun involved there???

I started on mine, then decided to do the hood, then get back to the bed...

Hood's done so I guess the bed is next...

Yea the bed sides are ready for final blocking and wet sanding. I am saving the bed for last. I am trying to get the hood done and mounted by September 14. That is when I am taking it to get the interior. The interior is getting a console built, carpet, and one seat repaired.

**TJ's Chevy** · 08-18-2015, 05:47 PM

Heck.....Looks perfect to me! haha! Its sure better than mine anyhow! Good work!

dwcardfan,
Thanks for taking the time to share. This site is a wealth of info due to the generosity of folks like you. It is even more motivating for me seeing someone in my own backyard with such a great build going on. I hope to begin mine in the spring and no doubt will reference yours often. Thanks and great job.

Thanks for the kind words. And you are absolutely right about the people here. Lots of knowledge and good people that will help out.

I got the epoxy primer sprayed Tuesday before the rain came.

dwcardfan · 08-20-2015, 10:21 PM

I went to the shop this evening when I got off work and sprayed the primer on the hood.

dwcardfan · 08-20-2015, 10:22 PM

Still have a few small dents to repair but overall the hood is fairly straight. Hopefully I can sand and repair the rest of it Saturday.

Ta2Don · 08-20-2015, 11:13 PM

Looking Sweet Brother...

Mikes66ChevyC10 · 08-21-2015, 08:15 AM
