    Please tell me I'm not the only one. As soon as the snow started to fly the parts started to fly off the truck. I replaced the motor, from a 66' 289 and a c4. To a 63' 289 and a cruise o matic. Traded some labor and some parts, got gauges(that actually work).Found the correct grill shell for my truck. New steering box ,wheel and column.. Then traded some more labor for parts and got a new front end. 4in super bell drop and split bones set up rolling bones style.. Then this last weekend the wife was out of town, TIME FOR A COLOR CHANGE! All of this due to many nights sitting on the hamb and looking at pictures of your guy's projects. Then going back out to my shop and wanting to throw rocks at my stuff. Thanks guys for keeping the fire lit to keep improving my junk, and making me want to put out better quality work. The before pics are of the red truck.

    The white firewall is neat. Gives the truck a nice touch.

    They are Et 15x5 spindle mount look a likes with Firestone 5.oo x 15 ribbed dirt track tires. The 2 gauges are a water temp and a oil pressure,that I have on a switch that only runs one set of gauges at a time.
