"the graduate"
Well guys I have been busy to say the least.....I have decided to leave my 72 truck alone and as is ......in the meantime I came across a deal on a 67 SB I just couldn't pass up I will use a full PB touring mild suspension with accuair some of the parts I had purchased for my blue 72 but will be using on the new build.....My daughter is helping me on this build so she is graduating this year so we will call this build "THE GRADUATE"........I have attached a couple of pics of the start...

I think it was a smart idea to leave the 72 as is. It's a beautiful truck. And now the new 67 project will be another amazing build. Locked in to this thread !

A little update I sent the cowl panel out to Justin....Scotts hot rods.....I highly recommend these guys they nailed it on the cowl and dealing with them is great....I also ordered the under dash set up for my brakes ........great folks to deal with....
NICE! I need exactly this done to mine, I was pondering tackling it myself... but I just don't think I quite have the skill to make it look good. How much they charge you to do that if ya don't mind me asking?

Re: "the graduate"
Aside from it looking glass smooth and filling in the antenna hole. Was any other modification done to it. Looking at the pics from phone blinds hard to see details. Looks amazing.
Btw TX. What ever happened to those billet clamp pieces you made for the tubular A Arms and the E Leveling rods??
