Thank you very much LT7A! If you mean picture #318? Girls will sometimes look at what happens in the garage. The right-hand girl is our younger girl and the left-hand girl is a neighbor girl.

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
My brother found old documents from our truck during the US. Really interesting to see those documents. If I understood correctly, this truck has been in Florida before import to Finland?

Mr. Finland, I don't know how I've missed your thread all this time. Just spent the last hour or so reading the whole thing !!
Your truck is amazing !! Outstanding attention to detail !!
Congratulations on the magazine feature and the show results. I think you'll need to clear some shelf space for future trophies !! You rocked it !!

Thank you both for your kind words! The truck will be in my brother's garage until next spring. Now my own garage is empty and hopefully soon I can start restoring my own hobby car(BMW E30). Maybe I'll post pictures of it later on the "alternate tinkerings" forum!?!?
