Bill Athey came down today, I got a shiney new pair of stepside fenders, new tail light assemblies and two new bumpers. Wootdog and popeye72 got some stuff too! Nice to see you again Bill, always a pleasure doing business with you.

Here's a group photo. From left to right is Bryan (popeye72), Kerry (Wootdog), Bill (pickupman), and me.

Here's a truck shot. The green one (back view) belongs to popeye72.

*Randy70C-10* · 03-20-2004, 08:52 PM

Wouldn't be the same if Kerry's truck didn't show up.

The black truck is Bill's new ride.

*Randy70C-10* · 03-20-2004, 08:55 PM

Kerry's friend Tom is on the right, not sure what he was looking at though. I know the Honda is ugly.

It was nice meeting Bill for the first time. I know I have talked to him many times on the phone and ordered alot of parts from him. Today I got a used radiator support for the 68, radiator support hardware, bumper bolts, and bumper brackets for the 67. The 67 is one more step closer to being on the road, Thanks Bill. And as always thanks to Randy for all his help. Kerry The Wootdog

Hey Guys I made it home a little while ago, It was a pleasure to make it down and meet kerrry, bryan, and see ya again randy and your family. Thanks to you all for the business and glad to be of help. Looking forward to make it back down sometime later in the year and see those projects done. I might even bring mine down next time for one of the cruise-ins. Thanks for having me down Randy.

Bill

*Randy70C-10* · 03-20-2004, 10:33 PM

You're welcome here any time Bill.

My wife and I need to come back up there and see your new shop one day (and do some sight seeing). That's some beautiful scenery you have up there!

70c10 · 03-20-2004, 11:40 PM

Randy, looks like you guys had a nice day!. I love Popeye72's truck!. I have a pic of his truck stored on my hardrive from 2 years ago. It looks like Calypso green from F@$d. My dad is painting his truck that color with a white pearl top like your GMC unless I can convince him to go with silver,LOL.

As a Virginia boy myself, I miss Virginia Beach, especially in the summer. Was transferred to Dallas in 1979 or 1980, too damn old, can't remember exactly anymore. Anyway, I do remember the huge storm that dumped about 19" of snow there; biggest snow fall in 100 years as I recall. Sleding down Mt. Trashmore was a hoot.....

*Randy70C-10* · 03-21-2004, 12:47 AM

Jim- it's hard to do his truck any justice with a photo. Here's a better pic, it runs a good as it looks.

popeye72 · 03-21-2004, 12:56 AM

Thanks Randy for the pics and Bill for the parts! Been working on the truck for a bit now. I'll have to take some engine compt pics. Bryan

70c10 · 03-21-2004, 12:48 PM

Thanks Randy, I'll add that one to the bunch!. Bryan your truck looks killer. Am I correct on that color name?. I really like BRIGHT colors on old trucks!

meathead95 · 03-21-2004, 06:00 PM

it looks like tom is taking a leak on the honda lol.............

Wootdog · 03-23-2004, 08:02 PM

My brother is becoming a member and I want him to meet the guys.Kerry

Rabid · 03-23-2004, 09:26 PM

Randy - nice looking rides bro!! I havn't been around for a bit, sold my truck in August. I'm still in mourning so I honestly had to stay away from the site. Painful to see some of these trucks. Sweeeeeet rides. I think I've come to the conclusion that I need another 72 though. Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes the fever has returned. I'll probably be throwing some offers out for another truck so if you know of any decent rides in Texas I'd appreciate a quick email. I take it you got rid of the Hot Rod?
