Re: California Rod And Customs 68 C-10 build

Would love to hear how many hours are into this and $$$...most guys here would be AMAZED!

I remember seeing this build three years ago on another forum and much of the metal work was completed then...curious how far before this the build started?

Re: California Rod And Customs 68 C-10 build

I want to know what you used for the bumpers? I also want to know what you used for the radio access plate? Is it electric controlled or is it spring loaded to raise up when released?

Working on a 68 that has had some smoothing work done on it, but nowhere close to this level of work.

Excellent job!

Excellent job!
The bumpers started life as four 67-69 camaro bumpers, and for the the flip up lid in the console we used the mechanism from a 90-92 volkswagen corrado/passat ash tray
