PROJECT CHAOS...by SunSoaked

[SunSoaked]

I figure its high time to start a thread to document and track my latest adventure into restoring/modifying my newest money depleting hobby. I have "hot-rodded" G-body cars (El Caminos) previously but have seen the light and moved over to the 67-72 trucks.

To begin- I made an impulse purchase several months ago by giving a guy $1500 for the biggest piece of junk I have ever owned! But....it was a 69, a longbed, a V8 and 4 wheel drive, everything I wanted. At the time that was all that mattered to me.

Since then, I have removed much of the ugly factor the PO had installed over the years. He was the original owner, a "do-it-yourselfer" and an offshore yacht enthusiest....hence the major rust damage and one of a kind accessories for his weekend excursions to the gulf of mexico.

I was fortunate enough to stumble upon this website, and am getting an education on new terms and technology regarding these old trucks.

I think the folks on here are awesome..knowledgabe, willing to help, and dedicated to these old trucks in whatever form they take on.

I'm sure this build will be much more expensive and take longer than I plan, but I have been down this road before. I remind myself it's the journey, not the destination.

With that said, here are a few photos of the newest family member, the day I brought her home..
