Re: My new project 86 Silverado
Hi new guy here and just finished reading through your whole build thread first I'd like to say that I'm sorry to hear about your Dad it's never a easy thing to go through. You are doing a great job on your truck and I'm looking forward to seeing it when you are done, you will definitely have something to be proud of keep up the great work.
