keep up the great work!

Thanks ! I cant take credit for truck bucks though, it's one of LowElco's. Piece by piece....save save then more bits and pieces..repeat. thats how I had to do it. I cant sell anything till I'm finished, because I know if I sell it, then I'll need it.

Money can go fast, but when the project is done (even though their never done. lol) we will have something to be proud of.

Sorry not a real update, but I've been working on getting a new space to start some more projects!

Here it is.

NIIIIICE! I would love to have a shop that big. Maybe someday!

longbed67 · 05-01-2013, 03:40 PM

Wow you still are around! I was wondering if you jumped ship!

That shop should have a little room for your projects looks good!

jlsanborn · 05-02-2013, 03:23 PM

Cool to see you chime in! What's the story on the shop!? '68 Chevy project in there first?

Low Elco · 05-02-2013, 04:19 PM

Nice,,,,,,Nice,,,Nice,,,Nice <--------echo cause its such a big space.

FrankieD · 05-09-2013, 01:45 PM

Are you going into business or something? I know what you mean by fires, with the light winter and blowing the trans in my plow truck I spent all my extra cash on a 95 BBC Burb & Plow. Wife and kid are giving crap about not working on the 70 till I ask the wife if she is going to buy the parts then she shuts up. Still kicking around sellin her but what the hey ya never know

Thank you Chip ! I think I will cut and buff before the fenders go on. Is there any plus side to doing it one way or the other?

Lots easier to clean, if you have the workholding. I'd fast bag the engine bay and give'er! Dude, that looks fantastic. Did you get much dirt?

Ok cool, actually did'nt get much of anything in it. which was surprising considering the filthy garage.lol. did have a couple sags in the clear. easy fix.

Low Elco · 06-06-2013, 01:01 PM

Love the color, reminds me of this car. Gawd, this is a badass car..
looks kinda reddish in this pic, but it's a beautiful deep candy rootbeer.
