Thats right, drove the orange truck today!

Unfortunately, my orange 1970 Chevy project was in the back of this orange truck I was driving: :jest:

Made a road trip to pick up my new project truck. I've got it home now, but haven't unloaded it yet. Man I can't wait to get started on this thing. Too bad its not going to be a quick process.

How far of a road trip did you have to make?

Went just over 800 miles. Kinda far, but I actually enjoyed it. I took most of the truck to my storage unit for the time being. I kept out several parts that needed to be cleaned up and painted. For now, I'm going to go through all the little stuff, clean and prep what I can, and buy whatever else I need. I'm building a new shop behind my house. Once its complete, I hope to have collected the majority of the stuff needed to get this project going.
