GMC hood birds

There's a new guy over on the OldGMCtrucks web site who is a silversmith in Germany. He has cast new early 50's GMC hood birds in brass and is in the process of polishing and chrome plating them. Here is the 1st one he has finished. My truck isn't nearly pretty enough for one, but maybe yours is. No price established yet.

 

Hey Bill! There's no link! Is your new seat comfy?

 

Hey Bill ;

That sounds really nice ! .

Please re post the photo .

And the seat is great Bill. I'll get the pictures posted in the next few days.

 

Those were already being reproduced by Jeff but , I hear he is out of them right now.

I love the price of those~ I think I'll whittle something out of wood, sand it smooth as a baby's butt, prime it and paint it chrome. Sheeze!

 

No kidding, Zig. At that price you should probably increase your insurance coverage.




notice I didn't comment on GMC values in general?

 

Really, how much more does "priceless" cost? Unlike those *yawn* dime-a-dozen Chevy trucks out there.

 

Sounds like the new guy over on the GMC site is doing a good job of polishing a turd

 

Well, that went south in a hurry...
