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

So part two of Thursday 6th October when Dennis and I dropped in at Rogers place.

He also has the following cars.

"Kiss my butt" this one seems to say.



39 Ford with Blown motor and very wide tires.

Loads of custom touches inside and out.

Verrrrry shiny



Yellow 36 anyone?



34 Dodge pickup with suicide doors.





Once we had drunk his beer, we headed from Rogers place back to Dennis' place.

It all just stepped up another notch.

Dennis and Deb built this place themselves 96-99 and moved in in 99 while living in a trailer to make it all happen.
This is again a home filled with tasteful touches and loads of Debs love and vision.

Dropped the bags in my guest wing and straight out to his workshop.

More beer.

Then onto his 1966 NASCAR C10 Chevy truck.




This motor from one of his three Sprint Cars is going into the truck.

Bring it on !!



Motor currently waiting in here.




Back in the garage this motor made my eyes pop as well.




Photoshopped pic probably says it all.



Today Dennis took me to 5 different shops and we also got taken to Mittler Brothers factory by Mike Mittler the owner.

Here we got to spend time with him on a personal factory tour, after which he introduced us to Jamey Jordan who has amazing metal bending skills and he hand builds phenomenal seats www.handmadeseatcompany.com We also got introduced to Josh Bulloch another magical metal shaper from Cedar City, Utah. www.truemetalshaping.com and on FB and Instagram. He is here to do a workshop for customers tomorrow.

We spent a few hours there again, just drinking it all in. There are some amazingly skilled people out there.

Tomorrow morning we will be up at 06.00 for 07.00 departure to Philo, Illinois to visit the COTU

Now off to bed it is 03.15 in England.

Hope you are all still on board.

I will get todays photos loaded and write it up tomorrow some time if I get time.
