Hi guys,

I've been working on my 63 longbed for a while and I'm at a make or break point. I've gone a long with the whole cruiser longbed with bags thing idea but it's not really what i'm interested in. I'd like to make a screamer out of it but i don't think a long bed is much of a hot rod. I'm considering bob-tailing it to lighten it up and give it a more hot rod look. I've already purchased the bags and a 10" step notch bridge kit. How will the bags hold up in a high horsepower application? I currently have a 327 that is a bit tired and will get rebuilt to run 6000-6500rpm passes. Let me know what you think.
