I like this truck! Stance is spot-on and the framework is killer

Thank you! I appreciate it, the stance actually turned out better then we planned it to be, the first time we put the weight down on it and the suspension settled we were impressed.

took the truck to a small show this past weekend, it had quite a crowd drawn to it I was kind of surprised lol. The silver thunderbird is my dad's friend and the Plymouth business coupe is James's dad he built both of those as well

widewhite70 · 06-11-2012, 10:29 PM

Here's the group we cruised to the show with.

widewhite70 · 06-11-2012, 10:39 PM

We started making our own coil and injector covers

widewhite70 · 06-11-2012, 10:42 PM

David67 · 06-11-2012, 10:50 PM

Really like those coil covers kind of give it the big block chevy look..

72LSK10 · 06-11-2012, 11:38 PM

Hats off to you, very good looking project, can't say enough about all the subtle changes. Not to mention the drastic ones, she will certainly be a neck breaker once finished.

mcbassin · 06-12-2012, 12:27 AM

I love the covers! I may just have steal that idea one of these days. Hope you don't mind.

Alright Thanks! I like hearing that, we wanted it to somewhat resemble a valve cover but know it wasn't going to be spot on but I think it turned out fairly close

Thanks! I appreciate it, there have been a lot of people who have saw the truck now but unless you know what you're looking at a lot of them don't know what all has been done.

Here's a shot of of the truck sitting in front of the Blazer.

widewhite70 · 06-14-2012, 05:51 PM

COLOR IDEA'S HELP
I am changing my mind everyday on a color scheme.
My first thought was going with maybe the 67' light green with an off white top to give it somewhat of a vintage feel and to off set some of the modern style it has, I've also considered some shade of all white and doing the chassis and interior in red. There is also Audi teak braun metallic that I like too. If anyone has any suggestions shoot em my way because I need some help.
Thanks!

gringoloco · 06-14-2012, 08:53 PM

The teak brown looks good. Maybe with a complimentary cream to lend the classic feel. Also like silver with white insert and red guts...

I like the light green & white top idea- it will always look "classic" or "vintage" & won't go out of style. Keep up the great work- you're doing this thing right!
