Re: 1965 chevy truck one piece @a time
Yes, great color.
And you widening those rear fenders really turned out good. They line up better with the width of the cab. I'm glad to see you posting again. I was a follower of your build.

Re: 1965 chevy truck one piece @a time
Agree with everyone so far, that is a beautiful color and also not one that you see too often. If you don't mind me asking is it a stock color for another vehicle or a custom 1 off?
Don't feel bad about a long build, it's depressing to say this myself but my truck has been sitting for years now ![]() ![]() I don't want to turn into one of those "I'm going to fix it up someday" people with it like rotting away but it keeps getting pushed back...and back... |
