WOW My 70cst will be in the body shop 6-12 months. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I stopped in today to meet with Kurt about the resto of my truck. It will be about two months before he will have an opening for my truck. He has done body and rod type work for about 35 years and he enjoys restoring old cars and trucks. He has a cherry 57 for sale for $75,000 if anyone has some loose change laying around. Being naive I thought it would be done in about 4 months not 6 to 12 months. I am sure it will be worth the wait.

That does seem like a long time, but I bet it will be worth your wait, Better then somebody rushing through it, I'm sure it will turn out nice...What color will it be? George

It has factory tuo tone green so I am going to stay with that color combo. It's interesting because when I was much younger I use to hate green. Now in my old age it's not so bad.

Kurt has a good reputation of staying close to his time table and $$$$ quoted. He is a small shop and he is the owner. Most his business is by reference and he is selective on what cars and trucks he accepts. I have seen some of his work and he does very nice work. Time will be the judge.
