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

So where do I start when wanting to break hearts.

Bill went to look at this on Friday night before going on shift, fighting fires.

As mentioned, his Report was that he would be happy to buy it for himself.

Good enough for me.

Thankfully he took a bunch of heartbreaking photos.

This is why I spent my money on, 10 minutes after his approval was voiced.

Tell me why I bought..... headache does not count.

Previous owner had it 6 years.....; long enough to grow a lot of moss and fungus.





Front end

From?



Rear end

From?



Engine bay.

Empty



Safety equipment

Lacking (got radio)



Tank

Relocated



Prop shaft

“Present”



Carpeting, gauges

Yes.



So it looks like it has potemshul.

With team Retro Rides behind me and a few friends alongside me......

It will become something.

The Rezin Rockit....




Remember , history can repeat itself. Lightening strikes twice (sometimes)

Remember the Not a Project Chevy Blazer? https://forum.retro-rides.org/thread...-stranger-2020

This is how I saw it in June 2016 on a driveway where it had stood for 13 years.




And how it looked after Less than a year With the help of @PaulY in the snow

And then the Money Shot.




SOLD OFF IN AUGUST FOR A NETFLIX FILM ROLE.


NEW PAINT REVEALED MARCH 2020





So now just need to get it here and start collecting bits to put together.
