Re: 1972 "Ol Blue"
Ordered some basic patch panels from Nsane HotRodz.. Outer/Inner Rockers, Outer Cab Floor Extension & Cab Corners. Figured that was a good start till I can get the cab blasted and see what else it might need.

Nice! Those wheels and brakes are going to look awesome

Thanks guys, exactly why I went with the orange! Little subtle detail that I hope stands out.

Re: 1972 "Ol Blue"
Well after a little bit of talking, research and luck... Was able to get the rear brakes ordered!

Felt like it was a waste of money (About $450) and parts to run a parking park setup. Baer only offers a non-parking brake setup in 5x4.5 and 5x4.75. So this is where the luck came in, thankfully Raceline hasn't cut the rear wheels yet and was able to change them to 5x4.75.

So I ended up with their 11" SS4+ setup for the 9" housing.
