The resto!

Hey guys,
I put a few pics in my gallery of my 79' from the time I first started on it about 3 years ago till I painted it. We did all the work to it ourselfs except the bed.. It was in too bad of shape.
Hope you all enjoy!. Its under "THE BUILD" in my usuer gallery

Be sure not to laugh to hard.. It was one ugly bomb..lol

Your truck is one of the best looking ones around here. I suppose now you are gonna need a new project.

I always think it's funny when someone thinks anyone cares about what that someone is going to do, when they should be celebrating the person who actually completed a tough project.

Great job 79 Custom!!!

Great job, Evan.

When I brought my trucks home, my wife said while ROFLing "YOU BOUGHT THOSE!!!! Like previous replies read, a completed project gives us all hope.

Congrats

Thanks alot to all,
My next "BIG" job to do to it will be to repaint it. Im still going to leave it Coral Orange, except give it the same paint scheme as a 69' or a 70' mach 1 mustang, with black on the hood w/ a hood scoop and then a the stripes running down the bottom sides of the doors from wheel arch to wheel arch.
I think it will look great..
