Re: For your viewing pleasure
Well I started putting the body on the frame. I know what most of you guys are thinking what the hell is taking so long. It is a real pain in the ass to get your own show and web site built way more than I ever thought it would be. Any way the body is in place and it looks crazy!
I've seen the foil BEANIE!!!   That engine set back isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I didn’t have to cut out the whole firewall.  I’ll put the bed on when I get it off of the table. It will be a lot easier.  I was a little worried about the shifter. I was already thinking RAG TOP like the old V-DUBS but NO !! It fit.

Re: For your viewing pleasure

i know this is a bit far off, but what's the paint plan / theme? flat black with pin striping and baby moon hub caps? |

Re: For your viewing pleasure
I have to make sure that the wheel is in the center of the opening. I can't stand the wheel not in the center of the opening.

It's a Gear Vendors Over Under Drive. I really like them they are real easy to install.

Re: For your viewing pleasure
Your own TV show? Saweet.
The truck looks freakin' excellent man! That's the metal portion of the dash that's showing right? (never knew that if so) http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m...U/IMG_1957.jpg What would be incredibly cool is to massage that into a nice looking full metal dash like our pre-73 trucks have.

Re: For your viewing pleasure

 This is looking great, and I can't wait to see what else you have in "show" for us!!!
