Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

[Grizz1963]

Well, Denmark was hard work, but I got to realise I have joined an incredibly focussed, capable and driven team with one mission only. To win at what we do.
Americans, Brits, Germans, and a variety of Nordics make for an amazing European, team, led by a fearless, spirited and driven Chinese American. I am honoured to be included with them.
My primary training, preparation is now complete and thankfully I passed all the tests, exams, and practical validations we need to do in order to be released to start working and "learning" So Monday it starts for real.

Every now and then stuff happens that makes my heart smile.

I have always loved these cab mounted spot lights.

This week a member on www.67-72chevytrucks.com offered one on the Pay it Forward thread.

I saw it advertised but thought I would leave it alone, even though it's one of those things I could never justify myself to pull the trigger on.

Then mate Martin and Don suggested I ask for it as it will suit the style of my truck as I am building it.

So a quick message from Ta2Don to Jonathan and agreement that I would PayPal the postage to get it to Donz place for collection in October when we do our road trip means my truck will be getting a period correct spotlight.



Weirdly, last night another PM on the same thread to Pappyx3! Resulted in another great score for the truck.

I had previously managed to buy an ashtray front from the U.S., but never managed to get hold of a Bakelite handle for it.

Especially in the UK where spares just are not available........ Think Rocking Horse Poop.

Anyway, Frank will be posting the ashtray to Don as well.

And I am happy as a happy guy.
