Joe Texan's new hotrod...

As you saw in the post earlier, Joe Texan got a new ride. 1970 Chevy, it's a nice start to a collection.

It's funny, when my Bride first saw the truck I was on the mower, but too bad for her, I can read lips. She said, "Oh my God, what is that thing?" For as long as she has been when me she still has difficulty seeing the beauty beneath the fugly.

She saw the rust colored paint, and yes people, most of that is paint, but failed to notice that it is mostly rust free and pretty solid. It does need a lot of work, but it is a good base to build a nice, reliable truck.

Everyone has their own opinions, but in mine, there is no vehicle ever made more beautiful than the '67 to '72 Chevy Trucks. There are some equally as beautiful (first gen. Camaro, first gen. Monte Carlo), but not more beautiful.

I'll try to take pictures of the progress along the way...
