Thanks for the compliments.

I was originally going green but unfortunatly my dad passed away during this build and when I was little growing up he had a 72 custom that was all black so I decided to dedicate this to his memory in a small way. That truck he had when I remember back had a built small block and was pretty fast and he used to scare the crap out of me with it. I have fond memories of it. I kept the motor green in this to hint at its original color. I always loved the two tone and had planned that either way.

I thought about putting the grille back but since I have a love of the 71/72 front end I will keep it I think. I probably wont keep the truck I tend to want to do the next project as soon as the last one is done but who knows. My dad always enjoyed watching me build the next project too.
