Beautiful!!! It's almost like being in the dealer's showroom back in 1972. I bet it even has that new car smell.

It's really odd, with the new carpet, insulation, cardboard, and all the other new parts, it really does have a nice hint of that new car smell. Me likes!

Re: "All Out Original 72"
WOW!!! Your attention to detail and originality is great. You are truly an inspiration to all of us who think that GM did it right the first time! These trucks are (in my opinion) perfect from the factory. This is the same thing that I am slooooooooooooooowly trying to do to my '69 C10. Can't wait to see it all come together. Keep us posted.

Thank You very much! I am very proud of the way this one is turning out, the NOS parts have made a huge difference, and it makes me all warm inside being able to install them lol!

Tx really has no idea how bad I really am over this kinda stuff! After I tighten a bolt or nutt, or install a part, I "touch-up" ALL, the threads, bolt heads, etc. with my tiny paint brushes. I pinstripe, and airbrush a little, so I have lots of materials to do an awesome job of touching up! So do you really want to join.....LOLOL !
