Re: Z frames and shaved handles
Awesome subtle bowtie in the box where the gas filler is.... Took me a few minutes to find it... Your truck is awesome. I have one of my own but not as complete as yours.... AWESOME WORK

Re: Z frames and shaved handles
Did your firewall have to be tubbed for the 20s? Were the hood hinges in the way with 20s?

Re: Z frames and shaved handles
Lowride

I love the color! Is the whole truck going to be all that color? Looking good keep up the progress. I wish mine was moving that fast! I just got my c-notch and axles now I just need time to install them. Later
