Thanks for letting me learn

Well, it seems to be that time like a few other "newbies" to take the plunge. First I would like to say this site has inspired me and has given me the confidence to tackle this project. This is my first project ever. I have owned fixer uppers but never really did anything with them. With that said this is not a full on custom but rather a nice DD I can be proud of and say "I DID that".
Let’s introduce her. She is a 67 short step with a 350/TH350. Nothing special but it will light em up. I drove 7 hours to southern Missouri to pick her up. I thought she was pretty solid except for some surface rust. Well it turned out to be a little more than that. That’s when I found this forum and confidence to do most of the work myself.
Here is the first pict I took outside St Luis getting dinner. I couldn’t believe it when some came up and asked me if it was for sale while I was stopped.
I just started a build thread if you get time to look at it. Be gentle, this is my first.
And the last one is where I am now. And a whole lot of inbetween you dont see. Thanks

Wall art. Check this out. My wife took my old hood that was in bad shape. I mean bad, I was going to junk it. I found a better one with no pits or holes for $100. Anyways she had it painted, air brushed and cleared. When I finish the truck I plan on redoing the garage and hang it on the wall.
