The Last Project - 1941 Chevrolet Truck

  Any fan of the Art Deco Era Chevrolet truck is a fan of the 'waterfall' grill.  As seen in previous posts the grill on this truck is pretty hammered and it has booger welds all across the bottom.  No reproductions seem to be out there and used off eBay and forums can be $600 and up. Resorted are $2,000 to $3,500 plus shipping. The restoration work done by a guy in Washington state commands this price, his work is beautiful and he's been doing that sort of things for 40 years.   Lucky we have the internet machines now and I spotted this set for sale a mere 9 hour drive away.  As luck would have it I have an auto racing brethren who graciously agreed to pop over and look at this for me since he lives near the posting.  A deal was struck after measurements were confirmed on the grill - the fenders are for a 1 1/2 Ton and too big for the 3/4t that we have - they will be sold. There are other parts here that may be better than ours. Remains to be seen.  Between the two grills

 California DMV is notoriously difficult. Until it isn't.  The PO (previous owner) is a busy guy. Kids will do that and after several messages and texts I decided to try DMV on my own. Scary right ?  Well no not really. California DMV has done a lot of updates to their website and forms are pretty easy to locate. I tried duplicate title - PO said it was lost but that didn't fly.  Like a child I went to AAA and they asked how long it had been out of the system. Unknown but likely 10-60 years. Greatly amused they sent me to DMV.   I made an appointment on line and had to reschedule . Tip - cancel the first them make a new one - you can't really reschedule as far as I could tell.  4PM on a Friday was available so off I went.  Place had parking and two lines. Non appointment with about 25 people looking like you would expect and the other was appointment only.  One person there - hey this is cool.  Then the second assigned clerk opened the second spot at the kiosk.  "Welco
