Celebrating A New Year!
With New Resources!

Paul Bibbee did a great job on restoring the '59 Chevy Fleetside pickup. The truck had been sitting on a farm in Monroe, WA for nearly 30 years. Even though the truck starts and runs fine, there were portions of rusted areas where there was no body left!

• Paul learned how to fashion metal sheets to replace complete sections of the body by welding them together. This allowed Paul to use as little body filler as possible, retaining the integrity and appearance of the original. Paul used professional auto body tools and procedures to get straight lines and a glossy coat of paint for a remarkable transformation.

• Tires and Chrome rims were donated by the Wenatchee branch of Les Schwab Tires. 

• Wood for the bed was donated by Tim & Ingrid Webber of Cashmere

Our next project, although not as formidable as this truck, is a GMC 2 ton flatbed with a new engine, exhaust and brakes recently donated by Alex Olsen of The Leavenworth Auto Center.
