Good job on that rocker panel, but surprised you didnt fix the ding that is low and aft of the door there while you were at it.

You could probably tap most that out from the inside.....

Thanks,
Updates will be coming. Darrah has been real busy with school, she is taken some hard classes and some dual enrollment classes. I tried my best at fixing that area but that's the best that a rookie can do to a place that was toast from the wreck.

Nice to see progress! Buick is looking great as well.

LostMy65 · 09-30-2013, 10:52 PM

Keeping an eye on this, none of my friends, girls especially, were ever interested in getting their hands greasy and dirty on one of these! Around my part of Oregon we farm and keep up land, that's what most of them are used to. Have a friend a little older than me who started then quit a project. :-( Oh well! I'm just glad to be hear!

Thanks TJ my girls don't mind at all getting dirty.

Alan Darrah wanted to say thanks for the brackets.

Alan's Classic · 10-17-2013, 10:10 PM

Y'all are welcome. Thank you. Are they in yet?

zippeay · 10-18-2013, 12:25 AM

You're so lucky I have 5 girls and they would NEVER come out and work on anything.... Especially old trucks... I'm jealous!

TJ's Chevy · 10-18-2013, 10:32 AM

Nice brackets! Are those chrome?

Yep, There chrome

TJ's Chevy · 10-18-2013, 07:57 PM

Get some tailights with the aluminum covers and it will look sharp!

4dranch · 11-03-2013, 07:50 PM

Just got Darrah's tranny back today and we sanded and put some paint on it. turned out nice.

TJ's Chevy · 11-03-2013, 10:49 PM

This is Darrah,
Thanks for all the kind words

TJ's Chevy · 11-04-2013, 10:48 PM

Your welcome Darrah. I don't know if you know or want to do this. But there are some truck shops( LMC I think) that sell chrome letter bezels for your grill. I think it would look sharp.

Alan's Classic · 11-03-2013, 09:41 PM

Nice job on the trans!!

zippeay · 11-07-2013, 11:12 AM

Very cool! Nice job!

4dranch · 11-07-2013, 11:34 PM

Thanks Guys.
I hope we use it, if not it will be for sale at super Chevy in April

Grizz1963 · 11-08-2013, 04:09 AM

Where do I start??

Just read the whole thread, David, Darrah, you guys are inspirational.

I have an 18 year old son, and unless it has wi-fi, takes batteries or is disposable, he is just not interested. (he can create a mean XL spreadsheet though)

I am so impressed with the relationship you guys have and all the work you have done so far.

I would be happy to have a girl like Darrah date my son, especially if she got him interested in mechanical stuff.

I will be watching the rest of this build and hope she gets all the help she can to make up some short cuts.

4dranch · 12-02-2013, 09:38 PM

We tried and tried to work the passenger fender we got but I am no Alan

So we saved up enough to get a new one.

4dranch · 12-02-2013, 09:23 PM

Rian, Thanks for the kind words. Yeah I'm blessed to have such a great daughter and friend.

Alan's Classic · 12-02-2013, 09:48 PM

Looks great

TJ's Chevy · 12-02-2013, 10:21 PM

Good score on the fender! By the way...Did Darrah ever finish the model you bought her?? I am interested in seeing how it came out. T.J.

No she's waiting on her paint so they both match
