Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

Headed toward Oklahoma via Siloam Springs where we briefly stopped in to see Mike Losh of Slosh Tubz fame, having touched and cleaned under his last SEMA build truck “Boosted Bertha” we needed to at least go mess with him.





His front reception area has mellons growing and some of these too.



While we were there we forced Dennis to sit in a Right hand drive car.......

All part of the road trip experience.

It may have made him feel a bit seasick.





Back in the shop with Mike.



Drinks for the road.



Then we were all out and the post man took a photo for us.

Thanks for the license plates Mike, good to see you again.

Back on the road we looked out for junk or antique stores as we all had agendas for stuff to find.

So we stopped at a few shops, including this one.



I have been looking for a pair or a single genuine, not reproduction horse riding spur for years to hang on my mantle piece above my fire place.

In this shop there was a lovely looking pair...... there was no price, so the lady managing the shop called the seller and got a price of $50.00 and I overheard her saying to the shopkeeper that her friend had told her they were worth $500.00

This pi$$ed me off instantly as I had taken a close look and realised the leather had never worked, and they were pretty certainly lovely reproduction items.

So I walked out, still no spur(s) to hang on my wall.



Detail.




PS.

Clems garage cat.

From feral to best buddy.
