Looking really good, I'm glad you went the two tone and trim route. Seems like the original trucks are getting harder to find and people just want to shave them and paint them purple, still 20-30 years later...

So, thanks!!!

Its funny you mentioned that. It has been a big topic of conversation with me lately. Trends seem to come and go, but resto-mod or resto rod (what ever they call it) is always timeless. Seems like all you have to do is change wheels with the current trend. So thank you! Its nice to see people seeing what I see. Plus I think 73 to 80 chevs only look good tradional

I had Sunday off, so I thought that I would get the back just a bit lower. I added 2 inch shackles to the back. I think it looks alot better now. I am hoping to get the rest of the mouldings on, but it has been too hot. The double sided tape will not adhere well in this heat. Its been 110 plus out and it has been impossible. I am hoping for a little break in the heat so that I can finish those. Then it will be back at the upholstry shop to get the wool carpet in, and to the sprayin liner shop.

I love the color too but that isn't the original color. Is that another 1980 color?
