Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
Well guys just had to post an update. Even though I no longer own this truck it's clear that the new owner loves what I did. He had some minor rust repair done then repainted the whole truck the original red. Then he painted over the red with white and rubbed it back down to how it was before. I find this really cool that he kept it the way I made it. Worth posting a pic just for that reason

That does look nice, glad he stuck with the sprit of the patina you did on it.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
Great thread. Mine is all original and I'm going to drive it and upgrade it as I go. Looking for the same stance as Shawn's truck but might go drop member to make it more bulletproof

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
I was hoping this was an update saying you got a new truck. Maybe next time I guess

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
I posted up the original Craigslist pics here (I accidentally had two IDs going but will just use kitsbeach from now on)
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=629342 I'll take a bunch more detailed pics soon and try to keep a record of the build up. Its just getting a few things fixed so I can pass safety inspection and buy insurance for it. Ken |
