71 Chevy Custom Deluxe Short Bed

[Big Block]

Well I guess I should start a build thread. I purchased a 71 Chevy Custom Deluxe Short Bed from the original owner son. Have the original bill of sale and Protecoplate. It's had a driver quality repaint about 20 years ago. Started out life white over dark blue. Color was changed to lite blue that I actually prefer. Kind of a odd ball. Factory tinted glass, factory front sway bar, ps, non power disc brakes, 3 spd on the column, 350 engine, chrome bumpers and factory ac. No side trim. Oh, almost forgot those ugly full wheel covers. Future plans. Factory bucket seats and console. Drop it 4/6. Probably rally wheels. Maybe up grade to something later. New exhaust at some point. I know how you all love pictures. So here's a few to start. I'm on my phone so pictures won't load. I'll do it this evening after work. The first picture is how I got it. Previous owner was backing out of his garage and caught the bumper. Ended up destroying the grill shell and inner grill. Second picture is after the new grill and front bumper were installed. Finish that off last weekend. More to come later
