Re: My 71 chevy swb build
looks great!
Where did this truck come from that cab looks to be in excellent shape! I have another theory though being through a few trucks we came to the conclusion that for whatever reason that bronze colored paint must have something in it to prevent corrosion because most that we have encountered in that color were far and away better than any other color |

Re: My 71 chevy swb build
Good looking solid foundation to start with. Glad to see you're taking it all the way down and building it back up.
You can see I like the bronze color and hope you keep it that way, but the nice thing about the full tear down is a color change can be done easier.

Re: My 71 chevy swb build
I'm in! And I think that bronze paint theory has something going for it!

Re: My 71 chevy swb build
Here's the frame assembled and motor fitment and a couple of colors I'm thinking about. This is all I have for right now motors at machine shop and cab getting ready for body shop more pictures to come when the ball gets rolling again.
