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

Every now and then you find a story or thread that really appeals to your own values, maybe reads like an adventure novel. And as it unfolds you get drawn in and end up going there every day.

This thread starts out bilingual, but predominantly English and then turns Enlish.

It is about the power of positive thought and about hard work, adjusting and sacrifice.

Take a look, I hope you enjoy it.

Gary is a great story teller.

No truck time today.

Out early to help a friend move two people into a new home.

Then back home by 2pm and cut the grass, put my old mower onto eBay followed by a tall Dutch beer.

Following this I started on a bicycle I have wanted to work on for some time as I was not in the mood for the truck late in the day.

Started with this old Raleigh Shopper. It has been Blue, Red, White, Silver and latterly Gunmetal Grey Hammerite.



Stripped it right down and then cut the rear mudguard to a length I like.

The front and rear tyres may need replacing or at least new tubes.




Finished at this point tonight.

The plan is to paint it NATO cammo green or possibly another colour, but I am feeling the green at the moment.



Tomorrow promises to have some decent boot fairs if the weather holds out.
