2.5 year project
Here's my 1954 Chevy truck that been sitting on a mountain for over 10 years It took me 2.5 years to build this truck with zero experience. I want to thank some of the people on this site because if it wasn't for them this project would've taken much longer. oldman3 for build tips and skip99 who gave me the confidence and taught me everything I needed to know from start to finish to do the bodywork on my truck and get it ready for paint. The only thing I didn't do was paint it and the upholstery, everything else I did myself. I wanted to turn this piece of crap into a nice street rod and I'm very happy with the results

Re: 2.5 year project
Rico, thanks for the kind words. Man that turned out sweeeeeet. You did a great job, and with the new Viking coilovers, you'll be cruising in style. Oh and thanks for posting up the pics on here, I couldn't get to the other site...Jim

Re: 2.5 year project
Is that a factory GM color with pearl added? Looks awesome I have a 66 that's getting a color change and it will be a dark gray metallic of some kind
