Re: Project “keeping it simple”

If you use your phone in the vertical (portrait) position it will be sideways. You can edit the pic on your phone or on your laptop to rotate it the right way.

Re: Project “keeping it simple”

A top chop? Your truck looks great as it is, I've not seen many top chops I liked but the ones I did like were only chopped about 1-1/2" More than that and they can start losing proportion.

Nice work so far, Rg

Re: Project “keeping it simple”

I like the unibody fords, hard to find. Is it a '62? The guy I bought my Blazer from has one that has the top chopped that he is still working on.
