From Rick

Hey guys !

Thought I'd give you an update on my project '53 Chevy 2 ton dump.  I'd love to see it in the Gallery section.. 

I've cleaned it up allot, And it's moving along nicely with some elbow grease & the help of some nice guys who responded to my ad in the parts wanted section.  Thanks to all who responded.

Here's what it looked like when I first got it ( Dec. '03 )

Here's what it looks like now (Feb. '04)

So far, the whole back half has been sand blasted & painted with epoxy primer, same with the replacement fenders, rims, grille, & bumper.

I'm also currently stockpiling new parts as I need them (Like the amber park lights that I got from Classic Industries-Beautiful!)

My goal is to have the front end painted by may (Winter is the best time to work in FL ), & install a new cab over the summer.

I'll keep you posted, & would love to hear comments.
