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

Signs went down well.

It seems her bestie and her husband just can’t decide where to put it.





I fetched the Custom Chevy C10 cab lifter made about 6 years ago from mate Martins place, along with another tool.

This has lived outdoors in all weathers, all the yea5s, so will need me to make some rot repairs as one end already fell off when I unloaded it.

Makes lifting a four man lift Sized cab off the chassis on your own using the engine hoist a piece of cake.



The cab roller frame, built by Martin is a brilliant tool, despite an old wooden pallet with wheels doing the same job.

The cab floor is stepped, and that’s reflected in the design, then add in four mounting points to secure it, and you can roll the cab about while working on it.

I will tidy it up and add some wheels before packing it away with the lifter for future use.




Been thinking of what route to go with my garage and carport “Forecourt” once the roof is on.


Years ago when I made this fake pump, these colours appealed, they still do.


The question is, do I develop the fake theme or use an existing brand.



Copy and paste


Been pressure cleaning the deck, furniture and repairing and painting all the stuff.

While waiting for paint to dry today I also applied the stickers I had made this week by a mate on the body of the dummy pump.



Other side......




I still need to draw up the design and hand paint the Belisha beacon.

But am procrastinating.
