That's awesome. Maybe you two could ship parts back and forth to fool the women in your lives.

smbrouss70 · 03-30-2021, 08:24 PM

I really don't have much of a problem with the wife and ordering parts. Gringo's wife just goes ahead and orders what he really wants but doesn't want to spend the money on! Hell, she might have ordered that shifter!

Hmmm I'm interested to see what you've got planned this time around. What ever it is, I'm confident it will be bad a$$!

darkhorse970 · 05-02-2021, 08:37 PM

I need that Crew up here working on mine!

Hey! Do you still have the bucks for the inner fenders? I have to do this to my fenders here shortly. Id be happy with a piece of paper and maybe just trace that line on it. Ill pay shipping if you can help me out! Awesome Build!

LT7A · 05-03-2021, 04:23 PM

Have a good safe trip! I hope all goes well. Looks like the truck is in good company, even the boat matches.

Shes getting some final details from the LCTC crew. They are taking the time that I didn’t have to make it right and continue to shake down and work out the bugs. Then they get to cruise it until I get back

Keith (darkhorse970) has them. smbrouss70 and Scoti are also in line to use them, but I’m sure you could convince one of them to trace a pattern and drop it in the mail. Try sending a PM to Keith.

All of the trucks are a 1970 model year, also!

smbrouss70 · 05-09-2021, 09:32 PM

I went and added another Blue one to the stable. I think I have a problem...

Work on Gringo's truck will resume next weekend.

**Kronald_70GMC** · 05-09-2021, 10:33 PM

Sweet addition! Definitely in my top 3 favorite cars of all time.

gringoloco · 05-22-2021, 06:05 AM

The boys from LCTC finishing what I started. Should see some color soon!

**GSFMECH** · 05-22-2021, 12:19 PM

Working sucks, wish I was there helping!!

SCOTI · 05-22-2021, 01:35 PM

Looking good!

C10_ustacould · 05-23-2021, 12:05 PM

Them Louisiana boys are good sh!t.

hewittca · 05-28-2021, 12:03 PM

I know your truck, seen it here before and on instagram, but this is the first time I've gone through your entire build thread. In short, wow! Awesome truck, and awesome incremental progress with details along the way to get it there. This is a top notch build thread and build.

**GSFMECH** · 05-29-2021, 07:09 PM

Chris I made a round trip to check it out today but I did have to work on the GTO as well. Man you realize the last time I saw your truck was before you went out west at the RR streetrods show in Bossier, a really long time ago. I've seen you but not the truck since then. Wow it's come a long way. It's in good hands now. Wish you were here today.

Hey, thanks a LOT for the positive comments. Thanks for taking the time to take the journey.

It has come a long way since then. Feeling like I might actually be finally close to being “done” with it, though I always have ideas and plans in mind. Wish I was there hanging out, too. I need to get a glimpse of Castro in the flesh.

gringoloco · 05-30-2021, 03:53 AM

More updates. Can’t thank the guys enough for putting their own projects on hold to fix my junk. The blue is looking good, can’t wait to see some cured pics

gringoloco · 05-30-2021, 01:50 PM

…and dried to a nice, matte finish:

On hold?

We worked on the GTO & Ratchet's Blazer, all while waiting for various coats of primer or paint to dry. Can't leave out my wonderful wife Brandi either, she kept us fed (very well!) and supplied with beer so that we could keep going without stopping. We were multi-tasking like I've never seen before! I just haven't had time to post up pictures.
