Well let me know when you are ready, I know some guys...
Thanks Pat, I will keep the offer in mind.... Problem is I like the pickup, I like the year/styling of yours, and I like the bullet nosed cars too..... Probably have to decide what I want, or just do one of each, huh?????:LOL::LOL::LOL:
What year pick up is it? Is it the round fender series or more like this one?

It's a '49, Pat. Friend of mine was moving and didn't want the expense of taking it along. Heard a story at coffee the other day about a couple of Stude cars at a guy's place north of town, going to go take a look one of these days, he supposedly wants to trade one of the cars for a pickup so I suppose I'd better check it out and see what he has!! Next time I'm out to the farm I'll pull it out of the barn and take a couple pics for you..... Now that I'm actually retired, a trip West might be in order someday, I have a bunch of cousins in the Tracy area I haven't seen for a few years.......
**)**)Retired**)**):LOL::LOL::LOL: You'll find your self working more than before:eek: ENJOY
Tracy is less than 100 miles from me Dave. Definitely within range. Don't come this way without letting us know!
Pat
Thanks,mate..:LOL::LOL: Ya cant miss him,,he drives a red 32 roadster....hmmm,,,yeah,just like everyone else there at this time of the year..:eek:
Actually,the place has that many Kiwis up there at the moment,you would be forgiven for thinking that you have been taken over..:eek: Hey,Dave,,keep up the good work on that 57..I'm looking forward to the finished article..:cool::cool:
Thanks Robin! Would be a blast to look up your mates next time I'm out there, hopefully by spring I can have something done of mine that would be fun to make the trip in!!!!

Pat---tentatively planning on Spring or early summer to head out your way---that's if I can stay healthy enough this winter to get at least one of my projects done!!!! It's mainly from your inspiration that the '57 will be LS powered, so I suppose I'm duty bound to bring it by so you can check it out!!!!
I have one word for you David....................................focus! You're almost worse than me for Pete's sake!!! :)
Your fender looks great, Dave! That mod will make people scratch their heads trying to figure out what's different.
