Just found this thread - really like what you have done with it.

It looks fantastic!

WOW!!! Your attention to detail and originality is great. You are truly an inspiration to all of us who think that GM did it right the first time! These trucks are (in my opinion) perfect from the factory. This is the same thing that I am slooooooooooooooowly trying to do to my '69 C10. Can't wait to see it all come together. Keep us posted.

Tx really has no idea how bad I really am over this kinda stuff! After I tighten a bolt or nutt, or install a part, I "touch-up" ALL, the threads, bolt heads, etc. with my tiny paint brushes. I pinstripe, and airbrush a little, so I have lots of materials to do an awesome job of touching up! So do you really want to join.....LOLOL !

Thank You very much! I am very proud of the way this one is turning out, the NOS parts have made a huge difference, and it makes me all warm inside being able to install them lol!

Your words sir, are what make this worth doing! That's how I "Re-coupe" my labor cost. Your comments just paid for many hours of work! I wish you the very best on your project!!!! Thank You so much!

Weather was really nice here today, so I pushed the truck out and snapped a few photo's, and cleaned the shop up some. The doors are almost finished, except for the ventshades, more door edge guards, and touch-up painting. One of the photo's shows my dualie in the background, to me, that's deep!

roadracer9 · 04-04-2010, 09:01 PM

Here's a few more.... And a pic of the ventshades, and they are the green backed!

VA72C10 · 04-04-2010, 09:02 PM

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

roadracer9 · 04-04-2010, 09:09 PM

Here's a few odd pictures. camera does much better outside for sure!!!

roadracer9 · 04-04-2010, 09:30 PM

Here's the before pic of the seat and tracks. I have blasted, and re-painted the tracks, and I have the seat covered and complete, but I haven't taken pictures yet. I can say wow! Wait till you guys see the seat!

VA72C10 · 04-04-2010, 09:35 PM

VA72C10 · 04-04-2010, 09:36 PM

I will show some here in TN. if I can get it finished. I do not know the dates of the other shows you mentioned, I'd like too! The bed is taking alot of time, and I need an exhaust heat riser! That thing has really got me held up! I have the fenders done, working on the 3rd hood, ugh! Cowl is almost finished. I still have a long way to go....

VA72C10 · 04-04-2010, 10:17 PM

The Southeast Truck Nats is on July 17th

VA72C10 · 04-04-2010, 10:20 PM

The Super Chevy Show is April 17th so I'm guessing you won't be ready by then

Are you looking for the heat riser still?

*67/72junkie* · 04-04-2010, 11:00 PM

That my man is going to be a best of show original truck at almost any show in the country!That is a real high quality restoration that represents the high end Barret Jackson style prices and is worth every dime!
