Hey there, everyone, Nick here from the great White North (Ontario) . I've recently picked up a '70 C-10 to go with my '70 chevelle and I'm pumped ! Body's excellent, it's got a frshly rebuilt '67 327 with '69 heads and I've just finished bolting it all back together. Except for the standard carb adjustments it's running great. I'm about a month away from body and paint (peruvian silver with midnight blue "ss" stripes), which will be the exact opposite of the car.I've been reading you guys for a week now and I must say the knowledge and support you have for each other is awesome. I look forward to picking your brains as the rest of the project unfolds. Did you see the sliding rear window on E-bay new for $35 ? I got one and it's great ! Thats all for now ! I'll post more pictures when I figure out how to get them small enough.

How about a pic of your Chevelle. That will look awesome having them opposite paint schemes.

Oh, welcome.

welcome from the land of bikinis,fl that is.great looking truck.

nickdaytona · 02-04-2005, 11:21 PM

O.K. here's the chevelle. Thats actually blue, people. The colour is so dark that if its dirty or after dusk then it's black. The car was originally a 300 deluxe 2 speed column shift but now it's a 4 bolt mild cammed 3 speed floor shift auto with buckets. Not an SS clone , as I'm pretty sure that SS stands for "stolen soon". I like the stealth bomber look . Some dumbass scratched the passenger quarter 2 days before I put it to sleep so now it need's a paint job (theres other artistry thanks to my son and his lawnmower). So, the idea is to repaint the car the same colour it is now ( Carbon black-BMW) and stripe it using the peruvian silver, then paint the truck silver and put on the blue stripes. Question; I want to Rhino line the box inside and underneath- suggestions? I've got motor shots of the truck and also all sides so when I get them shrunk I'll post them.
