I got a parts truck around my 14th birthday and now it's almost my 17th and it's finally painted and pretty well done (unless I do the engine swap). She was a rusted out hulk on my side lawn, one of the few memories I had of my grandfather, so I tore her down to the frame everywhere but the cab, grinded the frame painted it, new box, new quarters, new hood, new door, new bumpers, new brakes, anything that needed fixed was done, patched floor pans most everything is new, I estimate I've put around $4000 into her. And now she's alright, gonna get a small gold pinstripe and the logo's put back on once the paint sets. But here she is, she's come along way. Tell me what you think:
