I own an Electrical contracting business and my intention is to restore this truck and use it for my estimating/service truck. I'm not new to restoring vehicles, I currently have 5 Chevy novas. One that I just finished a ground up resto on, one that I'm currently working on, two that are currently waiting, and one parts car. I've also restored two imports for my oldest son, and a MGB for my wife. I have a passion for working on these classic vehicles, so needless to say I'm really excited for this build. It needs a lot of work, but I'm fine with that. I do all of the resto work myself with the exception of machine work. I'm self taught, not a professional and the end result is nice. Is it show quality? no. Is it a nice daily driver? yes, and I'm fine with that. I'm sure I'll have lot's of questions along the way, So I'll be asking. Thanks everyone
Tim

Just try to post your question in the best forum and the guys will do the rest. Look forward to seeing you around the garage. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 | Welcome to the 'bolt Tim.
I also see you have a small 'Brit car' in your collection.
(If you ever need help sourcing parts give me a shout)
I like your 'tag' line,judging by that,you'll fit right in here!
