New projects
Picked up a couple new projects in the last week. Got the Chevelle on Sunday and the truck on Wednesday. The Chevelle is a original 396 car but sadly the 396 is long gone. The 70 swb is a 6 cyl 3 speed with working a/c. Already got all of the add on stuff removed and think it looks much better. The bed is close to perfect with only 1 small ding and no rust. The cab is another story. Definately needs to be replaced.

Re: New projects
Yea.... Have you dropped it yet? We know you have the parts (or did that stuff finally sell?).

Re: New projects
Nice truck. And yea, yea, I really like the gas pedal too. Used to be a company called "Moon Racing Equipment" that made those.

Re: New projects
Updates?
Or I am going to have to turn into a stalker driving infront of your house to catch a glimpse of something when you have your garage door open?

Re: New projects
Still driving the truck. I did what I swore to the wife I wouldn't do. Pulled the Chevelle apart. There was enough stuff rigged on it to where I wouldn't feel comfortable driving it as was.
