And pics from the show! We had a prime corner parking spot reserved right on the square downtown. The city closes main street all day for the show and they're are atleast 4-500 cars every year.

Thanks again guys, appreciate yall following the build. As for what's next, I have my personal '66 C10 build in my signature that I occasionally update. The '55 International isn't quite finished either so that'll get most of our attention in the next few weeks. We started a '68 Malibu but had to stop after it was stripped- body is too rough to continue. I will keep you guys updated once we start the next build thread by posting a link here. Ill also update the thread once we have a photoshoot done and whenever we have the truck out at shows in the future.

Very impressive build-not my style at all but cool to see what it would have looked like off the show room floor if it was built to the highest standard!

A few of you have asked about our next project and wanted me to post a link to the build thread so here it is. It's a 1940 Packard 120 Convertible that needs a ton of metal work. The owner has already had the frame/suspension/drivetrain rebuilt/restored. We'll be doing the rust repair, metalwork, bodywork, paint, upholstery, and final assembly. The owner is planning on driving it back to his home in Connecticut once its finished.

The truck will be featured in our local newspaper this Friday in the automotive section. I snapped a few pics from the photoshoot. They've been driving it a little, it's up to 82 miles. The lady sitting in the truck is the owner's mother, and the building it's parked in front of is the dealership it was bought new at.

"Jean Garrett had it restored recently, it didn’t require that much work."

The owner had the truck out at Blue Ridge Fest last weekend. We've been going the last 3-4 years and it's always a great show.
