Hey Flip, I hate that you couldnt find a good bedside. It took me over a year to find my bed. The work you did on the bedside turned out nice and straight. It looks very good to me. I have one of those flaring tools from harbor freight also. I have the one that also punches holes out for your welds. That saved me alot of time not having to drill all the holes in the rocker panel where it has to be welded on at. Great work, keep the pics coming.

I was reading threw your build this morning (again) and looked at your bed side.
Dude. You not only made your truck into a red rocket but you also have some serious metal skillz.

thanks bomp, but they are nowhere close to yours, but now come to think of it i have been known to sling a few tools from time to time

the four i want to build is: my 64 c10, a 67-72 chevelle ( i like the 67 and the 72's), a 60-66 suburban ( the wife has already said i can use are tahoe for parts, like the heated seats, motor, wiring) when i get the chevelle done completely! then i want to build a 69 musthang with a 351c like i had in high school that me and my buddy went halfs on, speedo was broke but the cops were cool and we even had them clock us doing 135mph on a seven mile straight strech of road, all he said was i didnt think this car would go that fast, it looked like a beater from the outside but not under the hood!

i do want to build/own a few more but we'll see how this list goes first! i would like to build each of my kids there own car or truck with there help of course! my second cousin is always finding old muscle cars and stuff! i've bought a few of my truck parts from him from left over parts he had from other builds he has done!

when i visited cousin if tennessee about 8-9yrs ago there was a junkyard just down the street from him that had all kinds of old muscle cars, i even remember seen a used car places that had some relly nice rides, i believe it was right off the highway up on this lil hill, i cant remember the name!
