The build is fully street approved and legal to run, it is currently under improvements with new garage paint work to get it to one color, engine work and new Painless harness being installed. Thats why I have no video on it, the timeline is to have it back to the streets when the winter ends in April.

I have always liked the early Nova/Chevy II#039;s and this is the only one as far as I know that has been rebuilt into a pick up. It was done due to that it was a cheap and a good way to save weight (1272kg 55-45 balance) to get a fast unique classic car. And I really like the caminos and rancheros, but they are expensive in my country. This car is on a tight budget and has been cobbled together from swap-meets and visiting old-guys with garages full of old american muscle.
I have spent countless hours on this project over 1 year, this is also my first classic car project coming from building motorcycles and choppers.

Stay safe
