JHART · 05-30-2007, 12:19 AM

Nice work.

A few more.........

dan42 · 05-30-2007, 12:24 AM

Very nice - keep us posted -

jimmydean · 05-30-2007, 12:25 AM

Mirror shine! That's sweet.

GREASEMONKEY72 · 05-30-2007, 12:27 AM

thats purdy, is the filler goin to be behind a fold down license plate?

Texasbigblock · 05-30-2007, 12:32 AM

yes sir, the filler lines us perfectly behing a liscence plate fold down holder i pulled off an 81 malibu....a little plasma cuttin' and it turned out perfect. Didnt really like the the idea of having it in the bed floor cuz i plan of this being a daily drive and want easier access. Guess i wasnt thinkin though......bigger motor+bigger carb+lower gears+smaller tank=not close enough gas stations....lol

I love black trucks...very nice

WinDancer · 05-30-2007, 12:46 AM

Gorgeous!

jsbgump · 05-30-2007, 12:49 AM

Looks great

Texasbigblock · 05-30-2007, 12:59 AM

Thanks for the feedback! I should be getting my interior part in within the next few weeks and hopefully the bed will be ready not long after and yall can see the complete truck. I started about a year and a half ago when i was 17 and on a min. wage budget it aint easy.

nice to see it finally coming together! ANY MORE COMMENTS or COMPLAINTS would be greatly appreciated!!

krue · 05-30-2007, 01:11 AM

Can't wait to see the whole thing!

jackyl9999 · 05-30-2007, 01:13 AM

Gotta love black.

sjarrett71 · 05-30-2007, 02:20 AM

I just bought a brand new 2007 Grand Prix that is black and the paint doesn't shine like that!! That is sweet!

shaneschevys · 05-30-2007, 09:28 AM

Sweet!!

rlm316 · 05-30-2007, 09:42 AM

That looks great! Is that a 1st. generation camaro/firebird tank? I thought about going in that direction with my tank. You may need to take a look at some kind of a different filler cap. I have a bumper fill on my '65 pont. and have had a few 1st gen firebirds and when you take off with a fair ammount of gas in the tank it has a tendency to come out of the filler neck. I don't think these tanks are baffled so when you get a wave in the tank it sloshes around for a while. Again, great looking truck and good luck, Lane
