Re: new member 1965 chevy

That's a very impressive make-over, Timbuk! Amazing what a coat of paint will do for the overall looks of a vehicle.

Looking forward to seeing your progress inside.

Re: new member 1965 chevy

chuck working on harleys is great!-i just painted my first one a couple of weeks ago.Yes Smitty wavey gravey will fit in the new shop addon,so i can paint big stuff in there.The regional district finally got their way and building codes are coming in here next year,need to get my pile of roughcut uncertified lumber in the air before the **** hits the fan.Can you imagine i will need to buy a permit to erect anything bigger than 100 square feet on 2.5 acres? Ill have a conforming shed next to my 1500 square foot house and my 2000+ shop [img][IMG] color is magnum blue effects
