Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

Mike, thanks for all the help Friday. Love the bed liner. Pro Trucks is a great professional shop! Will have to come work from the dealership again in the future. Was a lot of fun! Glad I didn't keep ya from selling a couple. Was worried I was bad luck there for a bit!

The inner fenders will make a huge impact. Once all your hard work starts to pay off it will really give you a boost in energy (and cash) to help you get the truck on the road.

I can't wait to see the first set in place on your truck.

You need a discrete location for a logo so everybody will know they are your pieces when they see them (other than by the look). Maybe down by the core support out of sight unless you are really looking for it.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

should be eazy to add sumtin like a 2mm high CNCed stamp the size of a coin with a tread at the back , then drill a small hole in a reasonable flat part the mould and bold those stamps in there shouldnt hinder the piece to pop out though

Oh believe me -If they turn out half as good as we think they will-They will know who made them--Word of mouth is priceless!! But I think a "signature" would be cool!! Mike-check out "Feslers" products-feslerbuilt.com-He always finds a discrete place to logo........... jim
