Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Drove 4hrs down to Vancouver today to pick up my 60 gmc hood I bought a few months back. It's actually really straight other than one good sized ding and there's also one small rust spot. I'll get back home on the weekend and then I'll start to do some metalwork on it and probably sell the old hood

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Love the hood! Looks awesome. Kinda jealous, I would like to have one for my rig, really dig the look. I have a hood and it works, so got to direct the funds to getting her running hahaha.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Been working on putting my engine back together and cleaned and painted up the distributor and vacuum advance, it used to have a 1/4" of dirt and grease covering it.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Thanks bill, it'll be a while before it gets back in as I still need to install the new crossmember and build some motor mounts but I'm getting there

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Yep, now you'll know how it feels to put in 40 hour weeks. Plus Saturdays sometimes. lol But, I've found motivation in working a little each night. Gets me a bit closer. Looking good bud.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
All the little details are looking good together. Now you can scare the deer with your spotlight so you don't hit them.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
I always say, "It don't matter what the truck looks like long as you have a perrty engine." lol Looks great man! And spot lights rock! I have been able to pick up 2 so far. One a GM and the other an S6 universal.

Spent some time disassembling and polishing the spotlight and boy does she ever shine now! Chrome came out way better than I ever would've thought
