Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Here are some pics from Saturday. Forgot to say that Jimbo, Mark (my son) and I ran up together to Springfield. Mark drove John's 49 Dodge and was really happy with it and the gas mileage (21MPG).
Pic 1 Me and Mark parked together. Pic 2 This was a 2010 Camaro with 69 front and rear sheetmetal, was done very well, but the front windshield is to much of a slope on the newer cars. Pic 3 and 4 Very nice 55 Nomad, was also picked as a winner on Saturday.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Pic 1 and 2 Here's Jimbo's 67, has been chosen as a winner with the seal on the headlight.
Pic 3 and 4 Couple shots looking west of where we were parked. Pic 5 Going home Sunday, wasn't bad when I took this pic, but it got worse before we got home. (Still haven't cleaned the truck, been super busy).

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Wow just finished reading your build. That is so cool and unique!! Cruse control is something I will prob add to my truck down the road, since I'm planning on traveling with it. Looks like an easy install. Love the removable top.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Hey guy, this week-end, my son Mark and I drove to Springfield for the Route66 Festival. Had a great time, met some great people and saw some really nice cars. About 240 miles round trip and enjoyed the day. I've posted some pics in the event forum here is the thread if you want to take a look http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php?p=7276816

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Been a busy day, so I'm posting late. Anyhow, I had the pleasure meeting Ray (Indian 113) and his great wife Eve this past weekend. We meet up at the RV park just north of town. After talking for awhile I took Ray to my house and we took a ride in the pickup (top off), showed him some of the projects my son is working on. Also showed him Marks pickup with the dash modes. Then back to the motor home.
On Sunday I picked up Ray and Eve and we went to visited by wife at the nursing home. Then we did some site seeing around the area, had dinner and then we had to call it a day. They left Monday morning heading back home to Iowa. Had been on vacation and wanted to stop by on they way back. These are great people and we hit it off from the start. If you ever have a chance to meet board members, I would say go for it, you would be surprized how great it is. I feel so honored that they went out of their way to stop by and visit with me. Only took a couple pics, but here's Ray and me (I'm the old bald guy)...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Always good to put faces to names and meet in person. Hope to do it myself when I get the truck running.
