1957 Chevrolet Truck - Get N Down In Vegas

What plans do you have when you retire? Go down the allotment every day? Look after the grandkids? get under the wife's feet while she's doing the housework? Hand up anyone that said 'take on a car project'. Perfect time to do one really; no 9 to 5 job to worry about, so all the time in the world to spend in the workshop and the added bonus of not having the wife nag you to do DIY.
Fidel Gallegos had this beauty of a '57 Chevrolet Task Force pick up squirreled away, but didn't crack on with until he'd hung up his plasterers tools. It wasn't anywhere near as nice as it is now, but when you have the time, this is what you can achieve.

1953 Chevrolet 3100 Pick-Up - Lock Down ‘53

Lowriders aren't for everyone, oh no. At their best they're a feast for the eyes; chrome, super-trick paint, the hydraulics, the wheels. But for some, they're just too busy; too much going on, too much to take in. Some people want... subtlety. A slow burner, if you will. Well, take a look at this. The car that is. Jimmy Gustamantes Jr inherited his Dad's old beater of a 1953 Chevy 3100 pickup and completely rebuilt it. This car appears to be mild on the outside, but take a long, close look at it; this truck has a ton of chroming, engraving and detailing (like a see-through pick-up bed) that is a treat for the eye. Rather like Ralina Lia, the lovely Latina lady posing with it.
