Re: Picked up a 71 chevy today
made some progress in the last two weeks
cleaned up original engine parts going to install the stock air cleaner and vavle covers, degrease the engine bay, and do some touching up to make it look nice and clean under the hood. fixed the cracked grille and painted it, polished the headlamp rings, repainted the grille black around the headlamps, and repainted the rad support. (i'll get more pics of this)

Re: Picked up a 71 chevy today
May I ask where you purchased your wood kit for bed at and how much was it?
Thanks, Mike
