1982 GMC S10 Chassis & T5 Transmission
The concept and work has been done by a lifelong craftsman and classic car restorer/enthusiast. This project took careful planning and hundreds of meticulous hours, over a span of eight years.
The maker has aged beyond his physical amplitude and desire to complete his beloved project, so he has decided to pass it on. If you want to know the quality of his work, one of his previous restoration was a 1928 Ford model A, which you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuu-jpSBvis&ab_channel=PaulWesner
This is a special opportunity for someone who wants to really turn heads, whether at a car show, parade, showroom, or driving around town.
