Re: off it goes
thanks for the compliments...I appreciate that considering there's a lot of badass builds out there. A lot of it comes down to personal taste and style, I've always tried to keep a subtle factory look on my vehicles and not change too much from what makes us love these things, which was GM styling.

Re: off it goes
A lot of nice work on the inner fenders also! Did you run the brake lines down the frame rail and the wiring thru the fender?

Re: off it goes
we moved the hood spring from on the rad support up to the hood to give the support a cleaner look. Then we machined out a billet cup to catch the spring when the hood closes to keep from marking any paint.

Re: off it goes
Just a suggestion...
When your truck is complete, find a similar year, perfectly restored, bone-stock truck. Park the two side-by-side, and do a photo shoot highlighting the differences. For example, it would be very interesting to see a side-by-side shot of the stock radiator support, and of your radiator support.

I was thinking the same. There is so much work in that rad support. It is so clean and perfect. They were never designed to look that good,

Re: off it goes
buttoning up some things on the interior now that we got all the gauges working. Has any issue with no fuel gauge but turned out to be a faulty sending unit, all fixed... Also took the NOS door handles and polished the inserts to a mirror finish, being as there is nothing else on the truck brushed. Polishing the shifter, tilt lever and signal as well

Re: off it goes
As the engine rocks in its mounts, will it over-stress the intake tube? I'm not seeing any flex joint in the intake.

Re: off it goes
This has to be the nicest Squarebody ever built (EDIT: hell, it might be the nicest truck ever built...). It is on my bucket list to see it once it's done.
