Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside BILLYBOB

Short report tonight.

Spent the day reading clinical papers, summarizing them and did some other studying and online training.

Postman had dropped of a 8000 pound capacity towball today, it has a 32mm stem, so now I need to have the hole in the bumper enlarged to fit it.
Thanks to mate Tim for sending it.





I have also bought a pre-wired plug to fit on Saturday with Scott "Jabbo" doing all the actual work.






By 19.30 I had had dinner (thanks Nicola) and then sneaked out to the garage for some "Wax on, Wax off" action to help me unwind a bit.

Took the truck out and before I parked it, Mickey was there..... he loves the truck.

On the front bumper I used Wenol metal polish on the right, then mate Jon took a pic showing the left a bit dull.
This convinced me to take of the number plate to clean up properly at least once.



Left side not yet polished, it all came up really well, also did the front grille and rear bumper. Satisfied with the results of my efforts.



After this I took my time and polished up the Chrome smoothies..... thought they were clean, polish proved me wrong.

Next up I used Autoglym tyre/tire polish for the tyres.

Before tyre polish but after rims were done.






Couple of pics to show size perspective of the truck, in relation to my daily Audi A3 for those who are interested.






Next to Nicola's Peugeot 1007




Truck now ready for 4th of July tomorrow :beer:
