I had a kodak moment today.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SEVEND2 · 05-23-2003, 01:53 AM

I broke down and drove my 72 out of the garage today after 3 years of no sunlight for it other than through the doors. I finally got the motor running, Brakes bled fixed, radiator leacks welded, etc.
So i took it out from the back to the front of my yard since its registered now (first time since 93),(OPEN HEADERS) cause i dont have mufflers or pipes yet (next week), Smoked the tires by accident, getting in the garage!!! opps

I washed it down from the dust, dried it off and took some pics, stared at it for a while in the sun and put it back in the garage for now.

Well just thought i would share that......

well it aint that purdy thats for sure, just mainly front end work and big motor overhaul, but with a low budget, it took time and time off it because it pissed me off, back and forth. I have some pics on here some where i will get the link and added it, so you can see the back progress....................

I understand how you feel. Mine was down for over a year for the first round. It feels good to finally get it going again. Your truck looks great. (gotta love running it on open exhaust)
