Always get a 2nd opinion, especially if I am the source of the 1st opinion.

You should show it. I agree with 49_chevy_truck. Trucks in progress are great to see. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 17 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 17 | The show was Saturday. The truck received a lot of interest, especially from other car restorers. We didn't even take it off the trailer which made it easy to see the undercarriage. http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2286555830102083573THqTRS http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2489759080102083573ljcmEE It was a hot day, I'm going to have to learn to bring more supplies (sunscreen) for any future all day shows. Best question was froma 5 year old boy who asked "How do you drive it without a seat? Do you stand up?"

By the way, some local shows have a "work in progress" category. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 793 Bondo Artiste | | Bondo Artiste Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 793 | That truck is looking real good, keep up the good work.

My father-in-law had a 52 GMC that color around 1960

I got a door prize for my bus ticket number, and another raffle prize from the auto parts store. I figured I was on a roll and would win best of show, but I'll settle for all the nice comments I got. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 17 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 17 | - 1960 apache -
meansam,
Was that the truck that won the "best truck" award? I always figured if I built another truck it would be in the Apache family (but GMC of course:) | | |
