Re: 71 C20 Build - Road to Reno

Guess we are all ready to head to Reno in the morning. Truck is all back together. got the seat in but no pics of that. neighbor decided to light the pasture on fire...had to stop and call the fire department and then go supervise. they got it out before it spread to much.

need to finish installing the E Track on the trailer once the thunder storm passes.

Re: 71 C20 Build - Road to Reno

Yes and No. got it cleaned up and painted. most of the tabs broke when I went to reinstall the center piece. Decided to just leave it out. I had one tab on each side that didn't break and didn't want it to fall out while driving.

painting it turned out okay. I didn't have a consistent flow of color to it. will end up getting a new one.

Say your truck at GSR, but you weren't around. Looked good!

Re: 71 C20 Build - Road to Reno

thanks AllChevy58. Sorry we missed you. had to split time with the kids and cars. We had a good time and saw lots of nice builds. starting to work on next years vehicle. what vehicle did you bring??

Sad to say that the original owners didn't have the funds to take her back. will be working on the interior and the bumpers. not sure if I am going to paint the rear bumper or buy new for the front and back. Also going to bed line the box.

I had my 1958 Impala and my wife had her 1954 Bel Air.
