And Congrats on deciding! It can be quite the decision and nerve racking!

Hey I still haven't forgot! we just got the front end back together tonight so hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to get it out of the garage and get your pic

widewhite70 · 07-28-2012, 09:27 PM

I've been gone for a little bit, But we've been busy making some front inner fenders. Used part of the rusted out stocks and sheet metal on the rest

widewhite70 · 07-28-2012, 09:34 PM

We started out we were going to chop the stock one's and make them work but it just wasn't going to look right. So this is what it turned into.

widewhite70 · 07-28-2012, 09:45 PM

some more of the fab

67c10rustbuket · 07-12-2012, 06:10 PM

low69chevy · 07-12-2012, 08:12 PM

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 07-12-2012, 09:23 PM

Great project. Keep it up.

If not the ones for a 91-92 Z/28 could be a good fit lift rate wise. The hoods are close to the same weight as our truck hoods in those years with the extra weight of the blister louver design they had. The earlier model years had lighter hoods if the 91-92 are too much. There was also a fiberglass hood on some 82-84 Z/28's as well with an even lighter rate if you need even less rate.

Thanks! I appreciate the kind comments! But yeah I think the chassis and all aluminum parts definitely helps. I did find lift supports to work, thanks for looking out though! after about 6-7 different sets we finally found some to work, we found the length we wanted and ended up going through a book at the parts store and started guessing weights to try, ended up with 150lbs a piece on them

Ok I will get that! I was gone this past weekend and forgot to take the pic tonight but I haven't forgot about you! lol

VA72C10 · 07-28-2012, 11:36 PM

Those look great!!!

68 TT · 07-29-2012, 12:53 AM

Nice work. The stepped flange edge really cleans up the look.

**67cheby** · 07-29-2012, 07:44 AM

Nicely done ! That is a lot of work !

Yes I did and finally got the pics last night, only to realize they're a little on the dark side. I'll post them and try to get some that are a little better

Thanks! and Yes there was a lot of trim to fit and tack it in and making them both match

widewhite70 · 08-16-2012, 08:59 AM

A few recent shots

widewhite70 · 08-16-2012, 09:03 AM

And here is the latest project, custom hinges and frame to build a hinged wood bed floor

gringoloco · 08-17-2012, 09:40 AM

I like the bimmer color- pair it with a creamy off white. Or, one of the blues with stark white for a classic look. The bronze might look nice paired with a titanium/silver. Different is good!

How did I miss this build?!? You're truck is sick!!! The hinged bed wood is a great idea to show off the frame and vette rearend. I'll be checkin in on this one!

Slick67 · 08-17-2012, 10:59 AM

If I may add to the color wheel, a little gold that stands out from a crowd!! Maybe some candy pearl from paintwithpearl.com in the clear will create a great contrast, check em out they are cheap! (Everyone freaks out over my paint). Off white with a little touch of pearl gives a great effect also. Everything you have done so far looks great so I am sure you will lay down some awesome colors no matter what it may be!!
