my patinia'd 69
Heres my truck its a 69 chevy lwb with a 292 4 speed i paid 300 bucks for the truck so far i have cleaned up the inside replaced the rusted out floor, recovered the seat, added a 67 wheel and painted a few parts, cleaned up the engine bay as well, this weekend i painted the back half of the frame and dropped the rear 2 inches. I'm doing this truck as my senior project, I'm 17 and I'm doing all the work myself as well as funding the project, let me know what you guys think

Re: my patinia'd 69
Sweet truck for $300! That baby has a real nice patina. Great job on the floor repair and detailing. I'm honestly not feeling the love for that hood ornament though

Re: my patinia'd 69
haven't made any progress other than removing the hood ornament and putting acorn nuts over the holes...kinda hard to save up money with 3 trucks and 60 dollars ever 2 weeks but i plan on bagging the 69 once i save up the money im leaving the 78 and the 88 alone for now. i got a 472 Cadillac motor i need to find something to put it in or sell it

Re: my patinia'd 69
Any pictures of how you bagged the front? Looks like you retained the stock A-arms. Do you add Drop spindles as well?
