    Looks GREAT! (even for a Chevy) I like the side boards you put on the bed. Nice touch.
    Have you gotten it to where all the brakes are fixed? (Seems like I remember you were driving this around without any?)

    I hope you've put some sort of clear coating over all that else one fine day the paper thin sheet metal will simply disintegrate .

    That rig looks uber straight and original .

    Yeah, I finally got all the brakes to the point of being usable lol I found out my master cylinder was leaking and was slowly letting in air making the brakes act up.

    Yeah, Im going to be spraying it with some automotive clear in the next couple of weeks so that it will slow down the rust from eating so fast. In a couple years ill probably be painting it back blue though.
