thanks

CHROMAHOLIC · 09-22-2019, 06:23 AM

a few more pics....door handles are installed and all the glass is in. We did billet insert with nice small radius on the edges in the button on the handle. Just trying to lose that chunky in your face black button when you looked at the truck...I think it blends in nicer with the handle.

Looks good.
I've always kind of thought the door handles was missing something thru here.

I had a truck that had a color matching pinstripe tape there. Pretty sure it was put on by a previous owner but it was a nice touch.

@CHROMAHOLIC
This build is currently a inspiration to me. I can only hope to end up with something half as good as this truck currently is as I know I will never be able to reach this level.

CHROMAHOLIC · 09-23-2019, 07:24 PM

thank you guys

trixter99 · 09-23-2019, 10:09 PM

I really liked this truck the way it was when you first bought it, but now it’s easily my favourite build on here. I can hardly wait to see it finished.

thanks man

CHROMAHOLIC · 10-15-2019, 07:19 PM

under side of hood is polished, we also started on the door panels...the tooled leather insert is just set in there at the moment. Still have to do some final tweaking and trimming for handles etc.

tobiahr · 10-16-2019, 02:18 PM

Talk about raising the bar. Wow!

Thank you...just a very OCD guy who loves trucks

Hammered 77 · 10-22-2019, 11:43 AM

Did you make the door panel trim?

Hammered 77 · 10-25-2019, 06:45 AM

Did GM make any door panel trim for the 77-80 models without door pull straps?

Thanks
Rick

CHROMAHOLIC · 10-26-2019, 08:21 PM

door chrome inserts are factory NOS pieces, yes GM did make the trim without the door pull straps

Hammered 77 · 10-27-2019, 06:57 AM

Thanks for the reply. All that I've ever come across, including mine, have had pull straps.

CHROMAHOLIC · 11-01-2019, 08:07 PM

If I remember correctly Cheyenne trim level would have trim rings without door pulls. Silverado trim level added the door pull straps.

I was definitely taken aback by the white and black engine! But I really like it!

Do you plan to remove the "wilwood" name from the master cylinder? It seems kind of glaring. Possibly paint the master cylinder lid in white?

CHROMAHOLIC · 12-08-2019, 09:49 AM

Thanks man...we talked about Chevy Orange but it wasn’t period correct for this year of truck. From factory motor would of been blue which was definitely out with my colors. Then we talked brown to match interior which would of been cool but I didn’t want a ton of polished items in the motor so the brown with all black wouldn’t of had the wow factor...which by process of elimination brings us to White. I’m a neat and tidy detail freak so will have no issues keeping it clean, the motor has been fired and there’s not a drip anywhere.😃

**lolife99** · 12-08-2019, 09:32 PM

Absolutely stunning.

trixter99 · 12-08-2019, 10:20 PM

I saw this on Kens IG page the other day but didnt think it was your truck because I didn’t see the cowl vent screens. I just noticed the bolt holes for them now. Your truck is bloody amazing.

CHROMAHOLIC · 12-09-2019, 05:07 AM

thank you so much guys

daddyjeep · 12-10-2019, 03:39 PM

Good call on the white. It is certainly outside the norm and fits the truck well.

Sabaka454 · 12-10-2019, 08:49 PM

The white looks badass. Beautiful
