thanks for the comments on the green.. we were sucked in by this advert in Custom Classic Trucks now almost 8 yrs ago..

Very tasteful craftsmanship. Beautifully done.

 

repeated post from 'let's see your truck right now' but it made more sense to put this here...

Not a great pic, but current condition...

recent progress:
Steering column is painted and ready for reassembly
I pick up my A/C later this week
Custom inner fenders built
Custom gravel pan built
All front sheet metal primed
started work on '57 chevy front bumper

Trying to get it rolling before the end of next summer...

 

Wow John its really looking good!!

 

Looking good. 57Chevy bumper. Interesting. Can't remember exactly what that looks like. Is that a popular choice or just something you like?
Will it fit or be narrowed?

 

chevy bumper really ads to the look of the truck, just picked one up a few weeks ago! a bit of hacking and it should be ready to go!

 

Sounds nice.

 

its comin along...

 

Looking really good. Nice work.

 

@ Tomget - will take a bit of work... I want about a 3/4 inch gap all the way across... the curvature is a little different, and the shape at the ends is a little different... so a bit of nip and tuck.

@others - thanks for the kind words

 

Good luck with that. Sounds cool. I'll be looking for a after pic.
