All was very fair and reasonable, and I'm totally pleased with the work that was accomplished. I'm just real glad the work progressed as far as it did, and not too much left to do. Sure feels good to have Dusty back in his stall in the garage! | | | | | Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 2,773 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 2,773 | Count yourself as one of the more fortunate. I've seen too many botched or abandoned "proffessional restorations" lately. It's good to hear that one went well.

I'm hoping someday I will be there with my '40. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 285 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 285 | '56--Thank you, again, for posting the pictures. Your help is greatly appreciated. There are a few small things to do to Dusty before he can "cruise", but plenty of time to get them done.

Love that deep gloss shine I always thought those post AD single headlamp trucks looked sharp.

I'd be glad to have it home also. I like the color scheme with the whitewall tires. -W | | | | | Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 285 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 285 | Thanks 51 and Woog--Yes, I liked the black and white also. The jet black was the original color of the truck, and the grill, bumpers & headlight brezels were white (couldn't see where any of that had been chrome). I added the wide whitewalls to kind of contrast the side of the truck and "give it color" if you will. I still have the "stick on" CHEVROLET decals for the tailgate, but haven't decided to put them on yet. Other small things to do to Dusty first. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 285 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 285 | An update--since I brought Dusty home, I have identified 40 different things to do, to finish it up and put it on the road. Got busy and knocked out 5 of those things in one day--35 things to go and all winter to do them in. Going to have FUN finishing the truck and getting it ready to cruise. | | |
