Two or three major projects going on at the same time, and making progress on all of them. Astounding!

Thanks everyone.
Talking about other projects:
Here is my late Grandpa's 1977 Chevy step-side. It's been sitting in the same place for more than 30 years. It's finally in my garage. I am planning a very stock body off resto. There is very little rust on her other than surface rust.

Very cool. You don't see the old step side pickups very often, or maybe I don't. I'm pretty sure that I haven't seen one since I was a kid. Regardless, very cool project and how nice to be keeping it in the family.

Love the Vette and the pickup too! I did my pick up first, and now the Vette. You will find the pick up considerably easier than the Vette!

AWESOME Job Ken... I been following your project for years. It's been a while since i checked in on you though. You must be so please to be done!
I did a similar rebuild on my '74 from 2006 to 2012 with the exception of the body work. I had the car painted in 1991 and it still looked good in 2012 but know I've noticed that its starting to bubble all over so i'm thinking a new paint job may soon be in order. Can you tell us what products you used in finishing your car?
Thanks for your dedication and excellent contribution to this forum!!
