West Coast 67
Thought I would start a build thread and post up a 'preliminary rendering' (done by Carter Hickman... the digital miracle worker) of a 67 we are working on. The most unique mod will be the front bumper... split bumper on a truck??? We'll see how it turns out! Other changes include a Dropmember, a C4 back-half, 22 inch wheels all around, LS1 and six-speed, radiused rear roof seam, chopped top and laid back A-pillar, shaved drip-rail, custom dash and console, suicide doors, smoothed cowl, custom firewall, and the front sheetmetal/hood will get some attention. Some of the mods have already been done and posted in other threads in other parts of the board. I will be combining them all into one here. Not sure when it will all be completed, we are handeling all the metal/fab work and suspension mods... then who knows! Oh, and unsure on the color... it may end up black with polished smoothies????

Re: West Coast 67
Rendering looks awesome. Judging by the work I have seen on other posts on this truck and others. If anyone can build a truck of this caliber you can. I look forward to checking your posts out. I will also be a loyal follower of this build thread. RJ22

Re: West Coast 67
A few more renderings... it will most likely end up Black... here's one in blue, black, and black and blue (I like the two-tone myself, but I think the wheels would need to be addressed... maybe a painted black center with polished lip?) Let me know what you guys think.

Re: West Coast 67
If anything short of magnificant comes out of my brain, just shoot me. The work is, well, magnificant. The execution seems to be brilliant. The results are evident.
As to coloration, I am partial to the black rendering. But I like the red centers on the initial rendering, and would like to see the two combined....all black body with the red center wheels. Would that be a new/old school effect? It seems to me that you are on the way to upstage the Joel McPherson yellow ride of a few years back. Pancaking the hood to accomodate the tires is a clean touch. Keep up the good work and the postings. I have been off of the board for a while....and I have missed the happenings (a stroke last year) but I will keep this thread in mind.

Re: West Coast 67
What a great job- both the work on the truck and your profession, getting to do all the custom work and seeing the projects through. Good on ya!

Re: West Coast 67
Dude, you got me confused! Are you actually making the hood taller? That is some awesome stuff! I'll be back to look at more.

 Take a good look at the digital rendering in post #11... that gives a good visual of how the hood will open.
