[63split]

made some more progress today
finished up the apron added the corners and put on a ridge



also started working on a floor piece to accommodate the seats


because i am concerned people might not reconize the make of the truck, i added some more

Looking good. I wish you were my neighbor so I could make sure people new what kind of truck I drive.

here a pic of my 63 corvette today on display at a buddy of me,
who is a surf city garage retailer.

Your 63 Vette is the pic of the bunch for me, followed by the white 69 RT Charger & the red Peterbuilt. In saying that you Dutchies have heaps of nice American cars over there!

Ps, how do you upload that many pictures on one post? I struggle to load 5 in one hit after I have shrunk them to half their size??

thanks for the compliments

on the photo upload thing
i use photobucket.com
create an acount and you can directly upload the large picture's from your pc.
when thats done you can select the photo's in your album,
by moving your cursor over the pic a field pops open and you can select the IMG code of that picture copy and paste it in your post.

this way you can add unlimited pic's in 1 post

hope this helps

Lots of really neat old American iron.
That COE would make a great hot rod.
