So I had decided to paint my truck one solid blue instead of two tone, mostly to save a little on buying all new trim. But, after I saw the pics of your doors, it pretty much made my mind up for me. Thanks for helping me spend more money.

Seriously though, one of the best trucks on here man, keep it up!

Awesome! I've gone to Mexico on one mission trip to pour concrete floors and three to build ecological latrines. Always an amazing time! And the people there are the nicest you'll meet anywhere.

Yes, they are always so appreciative and friendly.

No work on the truck this week because we are leading the youth group on an inner city mission trip here in Memphis. Summers get very busy for me.

Drew your energy well is bottomless if more people were as christ centered as you the kingdom of heaven would be bursting at the seams

drewskiren · 06-16-2011, 09:27 AM

The inner city mission trip I am on is working on fixing the roofs of the poor. On 1 of the job sites in town is a 1956 pickup. 1 of the other teams gave me a heads up so I'll try to take a picture today.

Just a few of the neighborhood finds.

Check the Corvette rear in the '56. It was heavily customized in the late 70's.

eagleuh1 · 06-18-2011, 08:01 PM

I can understand the Corvette rear, but why put a square peg in a round hole. The headlights I'm talking about.

Reminiscent of Corvette Summer (70s Car Movie)?

Flint70step · 06-21-2011, 08:29 PM

I dig the rafter tails and the knee braces for the extra wide gable overhang.The shakes look good with the contrast of the windows too.Very nice Drew,good work

Allenconstruction · 06-24-2011, 01:00 AM

Drew, you do inspirational work both in contracting and truck building. I am taking lessons here as a TN builder (Knoxville), a Christian, and a Chevy fan. I am going through some real tribulations right now and have found this thread amazingly uplifting and energizing. Thank you for sharing with us all!

Very Glad to be a help.

Here are some inspirational photos - sorry I haven't been able to work on my truck.

First pic is an abandoned typical home that the family moves out of and into the new house we build for them. Yep, a tarp and dirt floor.
This little brother and sister needed a bath to get rid of the fleas that were jumping off of them.
A pic of one of the 4 houses we built, on dedication day. We built this 320 sq ft house in 4 days - no plumbing of course. They'll get an outhouse over a pit in the ground.

**67cheby** · 06-24-2011, 09:58 AM

WOW...well done

drewskiren · 06-24-2011, 10:15 AM

My family getting the key to their new house!!!

BlackTopMotors · 06-24-2011, 10:30 AM

Nice work drew...

classicchev · 06-24-2011, 11:06 AM

Your house looks great. Did one last year in the same style, but in red Hardiboard, black trim, with all the braces, trims to bling it up. I forgot about that post way back when, now its my turn to get some work around my house done.

Awesome mission work, I may have to use my other talents and take a trip with my Church on the next building project they go on, must be very fulfilling .

Darren

mcbassin · 06-24-2011, 11:14 AM

Thanks for sharing the mission trip pics! That's some awesome work you have going there. It takes a special kind of person to give that much of there time and hard work. Obviously, you'll be rewarded

awsum brotha !

red71cheyenne · 06-27-2011, 02:04 PM

Well, it took me two days to get all the way thru your build, but MAN!! Was it worth it! Great work and inspiration! This is going to be the same as my next project, I appreciate you figuring out all the headaches for me up front. I really love the newer HVAC idea too, but I may have to re-engineer it to keep the stock dash and controls.

Just a great build thread and I wanted to let you know your project rocks, can't wait to see it done.
