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

[Grizz1963]

A very busy weekend.

Bike MOT, BBQ for 12 in Whitstable and a bit of random garage time on Saturday.

Today was boot fair, with great results, then off to Hamstreet with Nicola and Martin on the bikes to a bike show and auto jumble. Followed by a run up the M20 to Wateringbury near Maidstone for another car and bike show, which was more of an excuse for a huge party and tons of Harley's together together.
Home by about 4pm and swopped bike and truck about.

Boot fair threw up quite a few bits today.

All garage and truck related.

Except this doctors bag, at £2.00 it needs the handle leather renewed and good clean, leather polished and then it's my work bag.



13 imperial spanners and a 1/4" ratchet to replace my welded one, 50p each. So £7.00 the lot.



Seven G-Lamps £5.00 and a mini vice £2.00

Love the little vice.




Martins Eddie Lawson Replica 1100cc Kawasaki behind Nicola who was being a clown all day, when we were filling up this morning.




Nicola snapped this pic of me headed to the Swapmeet...... She said I looked like a man on a mission. Weirdly, without planning it, I was wearing Clem's T-Shirt from last years party, and Nicola was in one of Don's PIIIIIINK Tatooz 20year anniversary T-Shirts. I also got two compliments on Clem's shirt from random people at stands.




My bargain of the day........ Been looking for something heavy duty like these for some time, found them on a traders stand at the bike swap meet.

Managed to get a deal on 10 of them, 4 for my truck and 6 for Martins long bed to tie his V-Rod down once the truck is completed. Paid £3.20 each in stead of £4.00 each.

Once countersunk and bolted down with countersunk head bolts in the rear bed, it will make the truck even more useful.
