Re: 58 GMC Project
You mind me asking about how much it cost to bring it to its current condition not including price of truck?
I have a 55 that I would like to get to that shape and am curious roughly what it may cost me.

Lastly where did you get your seats for it? Im needing seats badly

Re: 58 GMC Project
Chevelle looks great.
66/67 are my favorite years. I had a 66 for a while but had to give it up after my back injury.

Perfect paint choice for the chevelle! My older brother had one kick myself for not buying it for $600. Oh well maybe someday I will find another deal

Yes I did sell it. It was a hard thing to do and let her go but it was time. Now I can focus on the Chevelle, it's coming home from paint this weekend. I sold it to a guy down in so-cal. I felt good about were it was going, he's a car guy that I know he will be taken good care of it. All of my friend in so-cal if you see it go up and talk to the guy, he's a good dude and he can tell you about the Cameo truck he's building.
