Re: project 72 Custom 10

Thanks for inspiration; I’m not sure if its skills I am constantly learning as I go. I have been working on trucks since I was 15. I have picked up a few things from other build threads in here as well, but you never really know until you actually try it out. I like to do everything myself, none of my vehicles ever go to a garage and I plan to keep it that way. I figure even if it costs you or you screw it up, it was still worth doing just for the learning experience.

Re: project 72 Custom 10

Ok, found your thread after looking for it. Man, do you ever get anything that isn't rusted out??? Build's looking good though - that's a lot of work! Should turn out nice once your done though! Keep us all posted.

Plan to take her out of storage in Jan, finish the running gear/drive train, then finish up the cab. I have a bunch of parts on my 70 that i plan on stealing. I just want to get her done.
