Nicely done custom 49

Went to a GM only car show at local Chevy dealer on Saturday. Good mix of some very nice cars but only one AD. It was a whopper though. May not be to everyone's taste but have to appreciate the craftsmanship. Work was done 12 years ago by some fellow in VA. Owner says he drives it all the time and it's still in great shape.

Another unrelated pic of a square body. I was impressed by the faux woodgrain, best I've ever seen. Owner said it's hand painted not a print or vinyl of some kind. He saw it being done. Some shop by name of "Solo......" in Orlando, FL.

Re: Nicely done custom 49

Someone went to a lot of work to flush fit the glass on that AD from the inside. There are more hours in those window openings than some guys have in their truck total.

The color is fantastic along with the level of workmanship.

Back in 1998 I was all about wanting to do a set of Mercedes headlights on my 48 and that rather reminds me of why I came to my senses an didn't. Kind of makes you wonder if the truck wasn't started in the 90's and just finished lately.
