69 cst redo
bought this truck from a friend of mine that had bought it somewhat restored. he drove the truck and decided he wanted more power from a new crate motor. he pulled the front clip to do the swap not wanting to damage anything and when he pulled the ac box from firewall he found a lil rust and lost interest in the truck after paying for what he thought was a nicely done truck minus rust. i snagged at a very nice price couldnt pass it up gonna put it back stock and drive it some

Re: 69 cst redo
That thing is coming together nicely. What color is that? It's kind of hard to tell if it's black, a dark blue or a gray with the clouds.

Re: 69 cst redo
Hey, if you get tired of working the bugs and want to make a few bucks I would take off your hands gladly! You don't even realize how far ahead you are than most of on here. I would love to find one that complete for a deal I can't turn down.
