Well i bought a 69 fleetside about a month or two ago... Loving every minute im out in the garage! She needs some work to get back to her once glorious stage... I made her the promise that she will one day tear the asphalt up again. She's got a good heart with a 350 and stock 400 turbo trans. Even lists it on the glove box information card. Thought that was pretty cool. She was a old farm truck from a small town in Indiana. Well one small town away from my small town. Suprisingly came with the origional owners manual too. She does run which is a great start. Solid enough body with the all too common Chevy rusted out cab corners and rockers. Some floor holes (easily patched). Cant wait to really get going on her.

Well i have a general idea/direction i want to go. I will be lowering it (of course) nice and simple paint scheme on the outside. I am an aspiring leather tooler so i will be inserting some of my work on the interior (kinda like a rolling billboard) just some twists here and there not fully worked out in my head. Got a lot of replacing and patching to do before i can even think of designing ideas. I guess im not that YOUNG... maybe i dont deserve the name. But around my parts and most of my friends my age and younger are all about the new nice and chrome 2010 2009 vehicles... Guess in my area im one of the "young ones" Most of my hot rodder friends are a bit older than i am. They are a great inspiration and resource. They take me to car shows and to all their friends houses whom been doing this kinda stuff for longer than i've been alive.. Sorry to answer your question im 24. Guess i still consider myself young. haha..
