As I've said previously, I wish to complete one final project - Build a mid to late sixties (possibly to as late as 1972) Chevy or GMC 1/2 ton pickup truck. Can be long or short bed but it had to begin life as a top of the line model with all power including factory A/C.
This build will be a factory built look-a-like however it will be powered by a modern power train and suspension. I will personally perform most of the work short of heavy lifting of which I'll need to find some help and any machine work because I don't own any serious equipment.
I will even lay down a show quality paint finish myself in my home garage.
The budget - from start to finish, under $20,000 complete. Completion date - October 31, 2016.
I wish to document (in diary style including photos) the entire process from start to finish, the purchases and the "Hunts," the restorations and installations to the final day and record it here on this forum. I might as well make the official start date as of 7/12/15.
