Melanie Restored A Classic Vehicle

Submitted By: Melanie | Age: 55

Most women will cringe when they ready this, but here goes…

I’ve always wanted to restore a classic vehicle, specifically a 50′s pickup truck.  It took me seven and a half years to complete the project, but I did it!!  The ONLY part of the project I couldn’t do myself was the painting.  I won’t bore all the gals with the details (after all, who wants to know about rebuilding a 350 small block engine??!) but it was the most amazing undertaking of my life.  And the end result is the most beautiful classic 1956 Chevy long bed pickup you’ve ever seen.

Be fierce and be fabulous!

    That is so cool! I love classic cars. I used to have a 1979 Corvette – by far my favorite car. b-)
