Thread: My first build. 1955 Chevy Panel Truck Bagged

Tweet

The build does show a lot of creativity....but I'll ask the same question I've asked a lot of first time builders over the years, what's the big hurry??? I still take my time on a build, think each action through, and enjoy the process of the build rather then just hurry through, then come back to do it correct later on... I do understand the urge to get it done and drive it, but with so many good ideas as are shown on the truck, why not take the time and finish them with attention to finish and detail, then enjoy the ride. Just my opinion, I guess.

It's not really that I'm in a big hurry, it really comes down to making this truck as much of a learning experience as possible while spending as little as possible. Some of the things I have learned include a lot of things that I have done wrong from the beginning that aren't worth the time and effort to go back and correct. This truck isn't exactly my dream car, so I plan to continue learning from it and just turn it into a shop truck. Im already planning out my next project (thinking about either a 37 Plymouth or 39 Buick), and I plan to do that one up perfect, or, as close as I can get it.

But I won't lie, I'm also really eager to get it on the road.
