Thanks Johnny ! Didnt get anything ordered yet, got too busy. plus I still need a good amount of stuff, and want to make sure I get it in the right order. since I have to split it up so I can start replenishing the truck fund for the rest.

Looking good John! Checking in several times a day for more progress. I noticed just today that your sig says "68 work truck". That's funny! Mine says "daily driver" and I know how that's gonna go.... "Oh, looks cloudy today. Better leave it in the shop and drive the Crummy." I really hope not but it sure has gotten a lot deeper than I first thought.

Couple tips...

Thanks Johnny ! It's gonna be a work truck, just not the kind you beat on too much. mainly haulin stuff in it, you know like ice machines.

did you see the facebook link, my kids made me do for my paint work mostly. some pics of the chevelle on there too. Yeah I,m a gray haired idiot !

XxCHEVYMANxX · 10-05-2012, 07:48 AM

Couple shots, one with the gauges. I'm going to sand it and clear it again, because some of the pattern from the leafing is still showing thru.
