Just figured i'd show my first project that got me into cars. My grandfather gave it to me before he passed, so I decided to restore in his memory.
When I got it. I was 10.

What the motor looked like.

Then the tear down...

Then we sandblasted the frame and painted it.

Next, we started painting. The entire truck was painted in our home built garage...

An older interior shot before the doors were put on.

Then we got to the motor. Honestly, the most fun part of it all...

And the finished product:

Still waiting on a hood. No one makes a reproduction metal hood as of yet, so we're just using the stocker.
I'm waiting on some steelies and whitewalls, and to get it lowwww. Then I'll be happy with it. We're currently doing a disc brake conversion on it, so the front end is in pieces. Otherwise I would take more up to date pictures, these are just what I had on my car domain from forever ago.
Thanks for looking
