crazyjim Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 Silverado looks good Nick. I like the diamond plate tool box idea and I think you were right to shim up the rear end. Those tools and hardhats look familier - they the ones we traded?
Sixties Sam Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Very nice, Nick! The toolbox is a nice extra touch. Makes it look like it's actually being used for work! Sam
