First and foremost I would like to thank everybody on here that helped me in one way or another on Sweet Pea..Doing everything Myself was challenging..Especially to do it in what I feel for the quality ,a short amount of time... Special thanks to Richard H, Byrd and Longhorn Man. Thank You.....Anyways,Sweet Pea has been done for roughly one month. I have drove her at least one day a week since Goodguys Indianapolis ..And drive the wheels of her during the weekends..With only a few minor issues....( Just junk exhaust hangers 3 total).Me and the wife loaded up our daughter and went to the local park here last night...So I decided to take a few pictures of Sweet Pea....Anyways here are a few pictures Thanks to everyone again....On to the next Project..............

tcb-1 · 07-15-2009, 09:03 PM

now that's what I'm talking about!!! I knew you were close to getting her completed, but didn't know she was on the road!

very clean and quite tastefully done!

throwing up the devil horns for you and the NEW truck!

davebloomer · 07-15-2009, 09:18 PM

I cannot look at that truck without just saying man oh man.. that's a beautiful truck. Most tastefully done C-10 I've ever seen. That paint is outstanding. Looks like you took a blade of grass and to a painter and said I want it. I love it man.

Sinister · 07-15-2009, 09:34 PM

Beautiful truck.

Longhorn Man · 07-15-2009, 09:36 PM

guys... seeing this thing in photos just does NOT do it justice... look at the pics, and imagine it lookin ten times sweeter.

bad6772 · 07-15-2009, 09:37 PM

Thanks Everyone...The rear still needs to come down to suit my taste....I did a flip kit but its just not enough....I would like to see it come down roughly 3 inches...But over all I am happy....And really just enjoying it...This winter I am going to wet sand and buff it...Or wet sand it with 800 or 1000 and Re-clear....Its really slick now.no dirt no runs......But it will look a mile deep if I re-clear...

Longhorn Man · 07-15-2009, 09:43 PM

it's almost as cool as my burb... all it needs is a red door!

Average Joe · 07-15-2009, 10:17 PM

Thats craftsmanship you should be proud.

kxnomore · 07-15-2009, 10:30 PM

67ChevyRedneck · 07-15-2009, 11:10 PM

C20-67_N_MO · 07-16-2009, 06:15 PM

WOW!

Thats one sick looking truck! (In a good way of course!)

Man I love that color of green you have on it.

Congrats!

PanelDeland · 07-16-2009, 06:34 PM

Well Done!!!
That is an awesome job Tony.Looks like a fun ride when you do get to go.I would imagine you wind up talking about it everywhere you go.Not many can do all the work themselves and have it come out that nice.

Now ENJOY!!!
