Street Trucks Feature

Hey everyone!

I usually am over in the 73-87 and the body & paint forums but thought I would come over here and share my excitement. I had a 1951 Chevy that I was very involved with building finally make it to print. I did the paint design and took the truck from right after bodywork to completed (other than upholstery & final assembly). It is the first of the vehicles I have done that made it in to a magazine. It is in June 2009 issue of Street Trucks page 115. So, naturaly, I am thrilled. Here is a sneak peak at it from the day we pulled it outside the first time. Let me know what you think and feel free to ask me about it.

Re: Street Trucks Feature

Thanks guys! It was a great truck to build. And the owner...couldn't ask for a better person to be around. And after all that is done to it. He still drives it!

A good crossthread is better than Loctite any day.

Life is not about what you have, but who you have to share it with.

Re: Street Trucks Feature

I didn't get a chance to look for the disc last night. I will try this weekend and post when I find them. I work all day today and have a birthday party with the family tomorrow. But I will try. Thanks again for all the compliments!
