Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Thanks!
 I'm very fortunate to have a skilled, bad ass brother! Don't need people to chime in all the time with compliments, frankly I can do without (not expected, but appreciated) and we are aware of the quality he produces consistently. I've enjoyed sharing all the work, progress and pictures with all.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
 I wasn't speaking directly to you. These forums are for cheerleading? mEh, my intent was to share the build to educate. Hope it's helped some.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Your project is looking good.
If you make it out to GG's we'll see you there. I'll probably bring a black 65 Chevelle convertible this year, and my son in law will bring a yellow 2WD Blazer. I may haul the 65 with the Longhorn. We usually park over on the east side by the round livestock building. I love the Bronze. We built a Med Bronze, big block with air Cheyenne back in the eighties. It was deluxe two tone and we did cream instead of white, rallies with whitewalls. I wouldn't do the cream now, but it made the cover of Corvette and Chevy buyers guide. Sold it to a guy in Chicago.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Thanks man. Sounds like one heck of a line up
Got a pic of the cover? I considered doing a Dover White (69 Chevelle) but changed my mind. Still considering GG. Things should begin to pick up next week with paint/assembly.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Thanks man. I asked and he said solvent based. He just finished painting the backside of the tailgate.
Pics up tomorrow. Waiting to see the stripes on yours.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
I can't run the scanner at work, so I took a pic. I'll scan some color pics tonight if I get time. The date on the cover is May 1988.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Looks great!
It's amazing how much dust they collect sitting in the shop.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Thanks man
Garage dust, and the occasional bug mud dropping (?). Underbody is still really clean Driven 28 miles so far. After we get the rest on/painted I'll take it out on the highway for a while.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Got the passenger side bolted down but didn't get a chance to hang the gate. Some of the latch assembly needed painted too, so I shot them with zero rust and let them bake in the sun.
