I know the passenger side isn't a 72 door but it's all I have for now. That'll be one of the later adjustments

I like it, it is coming together nicely too! Great detail and colors as well. I know people have put the indent for the vent window screw in their 71 and earlier doors. Just an idea before final paint versus locating another door.

Thanks Mike!! The underside of the hood just got paint and the tailgate is next up. I just finished with exams up at school so I'll be home in the next few days. Also wheels are almost done. Talked to Intro last Thursday and they said it should be in the next week or so, meaning any day now. After the wheels get here I'll order my 9" ASAP and it takes them about 2 weeks to get that to me. So I'm looking at around January 1st before I'll have the rearend complete and installed. Then I'll fit the hood and ship her off to paint. I can't wait:mm:

Nice! I hope you made multiples. You could sell them to finance the rest of your build.

Haha it wasn't my work. I helped design it but Ickler hooked up the fab work on it. He said he would consider making a few more if the price is right.

Go right ahead, it's pretty basic but it's lighter, stronger, and looks ten times better then the stock tray.

I'll send you a PM and see if I can help you out. Just so the forum admins know, I am not producing these myself. A friend of mine owns a machine shop and would make all of the profit on making these.

I just finished the electrical but I just had to pay bills without working for an entire month so my savings is running a little low. Before I go back I should have it running, wheels here, tires mounted, and rearend housing ordered. That's where I think I can get it to before heading back

Thanks for the kind words, glad you're on board. I believe we will be doin the power tour together in June, hopefully you'll get to see it finished by then:chevy:

Been messing with the wiring the past few days. Got most of it lined out, just need a couple of pigtails and the I'll be done with that. Also considering using LED lights in the dash to brighten it up a bit, you can get them fairly cheap on ebay. Anyway, here are the pics. Just have a few more things to do and then I can start it, should be running and tuned by the end of the week. Also wheels are still at Intro, should be here by the end of the week fingers crossed.

Forgot to mention, Dad and I have committed to the 2013 Hot Rod Power Tour and I am planning on taking this girl. We are gonna long haul from Arlington, TX to Charlotte, NC. I won't have her 100% where I want her but it'll be close. My plans to make it to the tour are finish paint and body, make everything functional and look good. Things I won't have finished before the tour are side trim, bed floor raise, tubular control arms, and bags on the front. But those are all things that I can add later.
