Here is a picture of the mural.



I donīt find an actual picture of my Skoda, but you can look in my garage.
There is a picture.

Yesterday I mounted my skid plates. But the Screws were to rusty and shabby, so I made new screws on my CNC-lathe.



They are made from stainless steel.

I polished the skid plates as good as I can, but I think I will give them to sandblasting and powder-coating. Maybe in red.
Sure, not the front skid-plate.





The pictures are made when the skid plates were installed with the old screws.

Man what I would give for some of those fender flares/over fenders.

How much would it take for you to get me some of them and ship them? I'm very serious.

I can look for some fender flares, but they are really rare, and the most sellers know how expensive and rare they are.
If I see a good offer, I will let you know.
You can also look at german ebay, there are sometimes private sellers, they parted out there cars.
The shipping costs will be very expensive because the package will very tall.

Tomorrow I will drive to the first german Chevy-Forum-Meeting.
Iīm very happy to meet all the crazy people there.

I donīt want a finderīs fee. I like it to help people with th esame interests.
I will write a PM if I find some parts.

A little Off-Topic:
I was this weekend at the first german Chevy-Forum-Meeting.
This was fun!!!
Some playing in the mud, drinking and talking with nice people in very different ages.
We were 52 cars, this is much for a german US-Car-Forum.

But I forgotten my cmaera at home :-(
If I get the permission, I will show some pics here.

I don't think anybody would complain about you showing the pictures, go ahead!

52 cars is a good turnout even for an American based meet, wow!

Ok, here are some pictures of our Chevy-Forum Meeting.



I like the paintjob of this C1500


My buddy Alex with his Hoe.
He is 18 and works in a US-Car-garage. This is really especially in germany
Every modification is self-made. I love the push-bar.


He had pulled out the most Cars out of the muddy terrain.
This young guy had very much fun the three days.



Because of the rainy weather we made a tarp between German_Chesters and my Blazer.
My Blazer was higher.


The meadow was so wet, muddy and steep, that my Blazer was a little bit dirty after I had driven it up.
But he made it without 4x4, during some Full-Size-P/Us didnīt get up.
