Photos from tonight
 

I have a friend who is a professional photographer. He took a bunch of photos of my '63 C10 at the car meet we went to. My truck was definitely the oldest vehicle there, and it was also the only American vehicle. But it still caught the attention of a bunch of the import kiddies.

You were the only American Iron? Gee you maybe need to hang out with an older/better crowd ;)

Nice truck!
That reminds me of when i used to go the Saturday night get together when I was in Okinawa.
I used to roll up reeeeeal slooow and have my '53 Belair slammed on the ground. All the rice rockets and wanna be lowrider hondas would just stare in disbelief.

Unfortunately, around here american iron is a rare thing. When you do see it it's typically a newer mustang or camaro or something that is riced out like the imports.

If I drive a little further out of town there are more meets that are more appropriate for my truck, and my age!

I thought VA was FULL of old cars and trucks!!! Maybe you're not lookin in the right areas. Nice truck none the less. Looks great!

:agree: Time for some new friends. :)

Those are some great shots of a beautiful truck. Very well done indeed.

Re: Photos from tonight
 

Awesome Truck!!

Re: Photos from tonight
 

Thanks for all the kind words. I can't take 100% credit for the looks of the truck. When I bought it was already painted Bahama Blue Metallic (which was part of the appeal of the truck to me). I've done a lot of mechanical and electric work to it to get it up and running, as well as did some cleaning up of the interior.

Of course, my photographer friend is able to make the truck look SO much better in the photos than all the actual imperfections you can see when you are up close!

As for American Muscle in virginia, there is a lot of classic cars in Virginia, but I live up in Northern VA near Washington DC, so this immediate area it's pretty rare. Imports are the norm here. If I head out towards manassas, or further south of here, that's where the older cars are.

Nice! Is that dodge viper blue paint?

Re: Photos from tonight
 

No, it's Bahama Blue Metallic, according to the touch up paint bottle that came with the truck. I bought the truck this color, the previous owner had it painted. It's definitely a GM color, but not sure what vehicles came stock with this color paint.

The photos are very striking. Thanks for posting them.

awesome pics... you can make one into one of those signs that have LED lights for all the lights

Re: Photos from tonight
 

Nice shot... cool truck.. welcome to the site..;)

Re: Photos from tonight
 

Picture looks stunning. Love the color. In those pics it looks similar to my 68 which is GM arrival blue

Re: Photos from tonight
 

Man that color really pops! Great looking truck. You gotta do something about the background though;) Good to see vintage iron being represented propper!

Re: Photos from tonight
 

Love the pics man, that truck sure pops right out of them (and a good looking truck too). Sorry to see your in a mostly import area, I would definitely spend more time out of town if it were me. :)

Re: Photos from tonight
 

Yup, lots of ole vehicles in my part of VA (S.W. part)
Unfortunately there aren't many American people in the DC area either. :lol:

Re: Photos from tonight
 

Great shots!

Re: Photos from tonight
 

Awesome photos. :thumbs:

I love that color also....that's one of my favorite blue's. And being on a '63 makes it even better :)

Re: Photos from tonight
 

Great truck! There are a lot of old cars around here too but most don't run! :( Its rare to see an older car on the street around here and the really nice stuff only comes out long enough to go from point A to point B and back. I never see people just ridin and enjoyin old cars.

Thanks! I now have new wallpaper!
