First Day Out - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**RenoKeene** · 09-10-2012, 08:36 AM

Rose's first day out of the shop after a year and a half of a total nut and bolt restoration. Tomorrow she goes back to the paint shop for final touch-up. I'll post more pics of her when I get her back.
She is real and she is spectacular
