My 1980 Chevy C10 Restomod

[80stepsideguy]

Hey everyone,

i know its been over a year since i posted anything on the truck but beleive it or not i havent done a thing to it since last year around my leg accident. This year has been very hectic with me getting married in september and then last month my dad passed away. Plus i tore my 70 cougar apart and been doing alot of bodywork to it and trying to get it ready for paint by fall of 2013. And then i`m hoping to get this truck done by 2014. I also may work on it soon and put in the glass and that really might be it as i am the only one doing all the work on these projects till my stepson and wife come in july (long story).  Still got alot to do, wiring,exhaust,brakes, driveshaft, interior but im not giving up on it and it will be done.

thanks
pat

     Sorry to hear about your leg, your loss, and congrats on the marriage.
     I know how you feel, I have not been able to hardly work on my truck this year, work has been more than busy ( I am thankful for that ), home life, church, and the community projects I am involved in have taken all my time.  I am hoping come spring to start working on it again and get it done.
     Just keep plugging away at it and at least it won't feel forgotten.

Hey everyone,

Sorry i havent been on much i been going thru alot since november of last year when my dad passed away. Had to put my projects on hold for a little bit. I got the bodywork done on my 70 cougar convertible, tore it all apart an fixed all the issues i made a mess of it over the years. The chevy is in the corner of the garage, under a plastic sheetin to prevent anymore dust getting on it. But soon i hope  i want to get back into the project. But i got a few more around the home projects t odo before i go back into the garage to work on the 80 and my 70 cougar. I havent forgotten about annyone here and their projects as well. Their all turning out great..

thanks

Hello everyone!!!

Yes i am still here lol. Well where do we start? Not much has happened since i was last here, my mom got remarried in december to a good guy and we got my stepson a 1998 chevy 1500 w/t shortbed that were converting the single glass headlights to a silverado setup. But this saturday(june 14th) the 1980 c10 i been working on for so long is going away from my garage for good. Yep i  know after all i have done its going to a new home. My mom and stepdad are going to finish it and enjoy it. I got my 1970 cougar convertible i need to finish. But nce the car is done and after about a year or so i may look into another truck project. It WILL BE another stepside possibly another 1980 one. For some reason i am hooked onto that particular year truck. But i will be in here regularly to see everyones trucks and projects. So be safe all and keep on rollin...

thanks
pat

That's too bad but at least it's going to a good home. Glad to hear you're alive and well!

Hey all

Boy has it been quite some time since I been on here. Well I`ll give you all a lil update. In 2014 after I could not afford to put anymore money into the truck I had to give it up to my mom and my stepdad. They finished the truck and got a lot of compliments on it. Well lets fast forward to 2019. I was talking to my mom and she told me that she wants me to have the truck back. I told her to just keep it and drive it and enjoy. Well they both are downsizing to just 3 vehicles. My stepdad is selling his 67 Camaro to pay off his 2014 SS (holden comadore). And so with that there going to let me have the stepside back. So in 3 weeks MEDUSA is coming home. Hope to put some more pics up on it here. But its going to be nice to be back in the group.

thanks

Hey Pat, good to hear from you. You are lucky it stayed in the family. Everyone regrets selling their trucks! Let's see how it turned out
