Just to clarify, I'm not saying it will look bad with red. I prob shouldn't have even posted ..but you did ask for opinions. You may not like mine and that's cool too. Just saying.

Awesome build regardless.

Re: '72 Drop member... "Betty"
 

No no I understand. I want your opinion. Like you said, thank god we don't all like the same thing. Your build looks sweet, I like it.

Re: '72 Drop member... "Betty"
 

My opinion:

I have always loved the look of a black exterior, red interior, and big billets! It is a popular combination, but when done right it's hard to stop looking. :)

Re: '72 Drop member... "Betty"
 

thanks nate! I got the bug from stieny's black one that he built. I hate washing black but on a hot rod it's so dam cool.
By the way all of the kit we got from you is the best! I've tried to cut corners before and I just couldn't get the finished product that I wanted. You suspension parts are truly the best! I'm so anxious to finish this. I couldn't do it without the help of big willie.

I agree Nate. My black truck is the one I regret selling

Re: '72 Drop member... "Betty"
 

Eric you built that truck and ended up costing me a bunch of money. I blame you! Haha

Re: '72 Drop member... "Betty"
 

Keep up the good work, cant go wrong with the red interior ! Cloud 9 was actually a black truck with red interior from the factory !

Re: '72 Drop member... "Betty"
 

whats your plans for breathers on the valve covers?

Re: '72 Drop member... "Betty"
 

Haven't completely decided yet. I may drill front of manifold and run a pvc off Back of valve cover. I also may use some oval ones off back of covers. What do yall think?

Re: '72 Drop member... "Betty"
 

I meant drill out front of manifold and put a oil tube with breather on it
