Can I brag for a minute - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Mator · 08-18-2015, 12:03 PM

Well its been almost 3 years but I am finally on the road and made it to a couple cars shows last weekend. I received a trophy on Saturday for top 35 out of 118 cars and one on Sunday for top 50 out of 182 cars. I still have some work to do like new seat and install A/C but its at about 85% complete. Thanks for all the help and advise. This was all done in my garage except the paint which was done in my friends garage. Thanks for listening.

Thanks everyone. As you all know its a labor of love. I would have been lost without the help from this forum. It is a house of color shimeron2 HOK1125-1 with a black base and a bronze intensifier.
