I am in the process of helping my cousin build his 1950 chevy truck and he is already tired of welding, its been a long process but tonight we got the first coat of high build primer on the cab and he is so excited. I have a build thread going on, its titled (back on the 1950 after 10 yrs being stopped)would like to see pictures of your truck.
