Re: 1953 Chevy Truck: my crazy project

Hello everyone,

the windshield is not installed yet but to distract
today came the radiator and other parts.

I started working on the installation of the radiator
because I can not wait to hear my V8

Re: 1953 Chevy Truck: my crazy project

G'day Frank,
Your little truck seems to be progressing very nicely. It just looks divine. I hope you have some luck soon on that windshield rubber. I cannot wait to see the video of you cruising the streets in it. Keep up the great work.

Regards, Trently.
