The sticker is old, I only cleaned it and protected it when I painted the jacket. I couldn't find anything new from the sale so I had to keep the old one.

Our Chevy's first car show was a week ago but I couldn't go there myself, because my 4 good friends had arranged a suprise trip to us in Germany and Austria(birthday gift). We visited Austria in the Alps with a downhill skiing and in Germany at a BMW factory to look at the production of new BMW cars and in the BMW Welt building. There were really beautiful scenery and lots of things to see. Below are a few pictures.

My brother took the Chevy to the show and got a "top ten" trophy. It was a nice surprise!:D

Last weekend we were in American car show in Oulu. The weather was really horrible when we drove to Oulu on Friday, so it took a long time to polish the car. There were a lot of great cars in the show. We got a second place in the truck and van category.
Here are some pictures from the show.

My brother found old documents from our truck during the US. Really interesting to see those documents. If I understood correctly, this truck has been in Florida before import to Finland?

Our truck is featured in the new V8 Magazine. "V8 Magazine" is the biggest american car magazine in Finland.

Mr. Finland, I don't know how I've missed your thread all this time. Just spent the last hour or so reading the whole thing !!
Your truck is amazing !! Outstanding attention to detail !!
Congratulations on the magazine feature and the show results. I think you'll need to clear some shelf space for future trophies !! You rocked it !!

Re: Silverado restoration in Finland
 

Thank you both for your kind words! The truck will be in my brother's garage until next spring. Now my own garage is empty and hopefully soon I can start restoring my own hobby car(BMW E30). Maybe I'll post pictures of it later on the "alternate tinkerings" forum!?!?
