*Piston* · 04-28-2003, 09:25 PM

Well after 1 month its finaly done

. Dad and I have spent 2 solid weeks then 3 partial weekends doing a semi-full restoration. I still have a few things to do, like fit the hood and do a little more color sanding/buffing. But overall its VERY close to complete!

I took it for a spin tonight at about dusk and ooohhh man I was lovin' that

, It sure turns some heads

**Palf70Step** · 04-28-2003, 09:32 PM

That looks real good!!!

Where's the burn out pics??

Guess you should at least let the paint cure a little bit before you do that!

Solarus1981 · 04-28-2003, 09:34 PM

Nice

Looks really good. hopefully mine will be like that in a few weeks!

*Piston* · 04-28-2003, 09:34 PM

*Gee_Emm* · 04-28-2003, 09:57 PM

Enjoy it 'bro.

Robert

70c10 · 04-28-2003, 09:59 PM

*Piston* · 04-28-2003, 10:07 PM

Thanks guys

LMAO Robert, that dang f&rd broke down twice during the time I was driving it... Had to replace the waterpump the day before I came down here last week.

Now I get to enjoy finding every gas station between here and Kansas City! It took 70.00 in gas to get down here :0

Bowed · 04-28-2003, 10:09 PM

Beautiful truck!! Those rims polished up really nice too. What size tires you got on there now? Are you going to get different ones now that it's complete?

Bad@$$67Chevy#1 · 04-28-2003, 11:10 PM

Hey, that is a sweet looking truck! I like the older trucks. I am a 15 year old kid that I think was just born in the wrong generation. I like 67 and 68 chevys best, (I also like the 40 and 50 and 60 (60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68) but I dont like he 69 or 70 chevy grilles.) I want a custom grille for my 70. It will be restored soon. I am taking my 67 chevy long wide bed 4 speed in the floor and removing the cab and putting it on a 78 chevy with a 79 corvette 350 in it, when I buy the 78. It is only $600 and it has nothing wrong, except a lot of miles, and I want to re-build it anyway. This is my life. Motors. I have an after-school job at a mechanics place in town. I want to buy a 02 chevy shortwide bed to put on it afterwards. I am going to have a roll pan too

!!! I want it to be Black, with fade-into-green flames running across the hood, and down the side. It has to be just right... I am going to enter it in a few car shows. I will win somehting, I hope. Anyhow, Nice looking trucks! Good job all of you! L8er.

brad2 · 04-29-2003, 12:07 AM

Very impressive and fast! WOW!

Josh292 · 04-29-2003, 12:20 AM

hey 70c10 I noticed you have TJAZ Customs e-mail address. I wanted some door panels made up. Why won't they respond to my e-mails? I sent them 3 in past week.

67cst · 04-29-2003, 12:57 AM

Bad@$$67Chevy#1

miket · 04-29-2003, 12:58 AM

Piston,

That looks great!!!

DanoDMano · 04-29-2003, 01:01 AM

Great job Piston, I am sure you are proud of that beauty.

Also, thanks for the great photos of the restoration. It is awesome to see a project like that going through the process.
It gives us all a much better perspective of how much work it takes to get a truck to look so nice!!

Thanks!

O'l Buck · 04-29-2003, 01:40 AM

Wow Piston, that thing looks great, I can't believe it only took you a month!!
