Looks really good! Nice & shiny. Only problem with that is that I'd wanna keep it looking that way.

TJ's Chevy · 11-03-2013, 10:49 PM

Nice tranny! Came out beautifully!

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.

She was till we started taking off on a hill in traffic

Found this automatic column with the horn ring.

Don't know if we are going to use it or not but nice to have in case.

TJ's Chevy · 11-07-2013, 01:05 AM

Always liked those style steering wheels. Think its off a 65?

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, 09:23 PM

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

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.

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.

still waiting on the lug nuts but could'nt wait to see them on the 64.

I dig it.

TJ's Chevy · 12-08-2013, 08:14 PM

Well bud..now since it is icey(It is icey and snowing over there right?) you can teach Darrah how to do doughnuts on the ice with her truck....I done it and it is to much fun!!! I'll try an post a video here soon!
