Re: my 68 shortbed build
haha thanks, being 18, living at home and working full time helps alot!
spray-bomb, the vw pan belongs to a friend of mine, he was replacing the floor pans and bagging it, and doing really custom body off with it, he is also a really good painter and air brusher so it will have a crazy good paint job.

Re: my 68 shortbed build
That's pretty funny seeing a Les Schwab truck in the background. I worked for those S.O.B.'s for 9 years!!

Re: my 68 shortbed build
