Re: daylight!

Looks great man!
Love the color. A lot don't use the fender seals, I didn't cause mines more Rat, but they look terrific on your truck. Not easy to get them on! Like gas filler in fender. Great job. Enjoy! Your gonna get a lot of thumbs!
I'm assuming you'll be able to break those tires loose! Haha!

Re: daylight!

Looks great. Isn't it amazing how time passes during a restoration. Mines been down 6 months and feels like 6 years. Its almost like we don't want t finish.

Re: daylight!

Looking good. Hookup the a/c and drive the wheels off her. (Living in PHX, I always check to see if a/c is installed.) What did you use for a gas tank?

Re: daylight!

Very cool. Nice firewall job and paint of course. Any pics of the interior to go along with it and did you go for a little drive with the hood off just to blow out some cobwebs? What kind of air cleaner is that?

Might want to leave the orange cone behind for any meetups haha.

The interior is not done yet. The air cleaner is the original 216 oil bath. I modified it to work on a Q-jet.
