Seem like some pretty cool jobs...Retirement is a beautiful thing!!!...lol. With the direction things are headed, I'm looking forward to the day I retire. I'm halfway there, been in 9 years.

I know its not much, but I got the chassis back over to my garage so I can pull the motor and trans back out. Snapped a few crappy Iphone pics. In search of a decent body shop in Louisiana now, seems everyone is either too busy or doesn't want to mess with anything classic.

On the way home...had to stop and grab some chow...got tons of looks with just the chassis.

Thanks bro...I dig that Apache big time. I was drooling over it at LST.

Not a big update, but I did make a few changes to the rendering. I'll be running the Raceline Scoundrels with the knockoffs. Also updated the badges, the truck will be titled as a 66 now due to the new Big Back Window cab I picked up.

What body shop did you end up using? Did they give you an estimated time to complete it? Keep us posted on the process. Love the big back window.

Few more updates for you guys

Got the cab fitted on the frame and the old motor yanked as well as cut the factory passenger side of the firewall out to make way for a much smoother piece of metal

Another shot.....BTW...the 87 belongs to one of our prospects Jeff Brignac, whom is also doing all the bodywork on my truck.
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/p...ictureid=20088

Some bodywork that not many people will notice.....from factory GM just used spot welds and seam sealer right here.....not at all as pretty as this should be when done.
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/p...ictureid=20086

Some more parts....Vintage Air Front Runner....oh and my daughters Thor toy!!!
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/p...ictureid=20087

Cool little access panel we made to get to the accuair....the hinges were a bit tricky
