Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom

Did some more work with the paint booth, no cowl hood option on there so you kinda have to use your imagination. And I tried to make the grill look as much like a phantom grill as I could......

Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom

I am going a little out of order now, instead of ordering my front sway bar as planed, I ordered some wilwood brakes for the front. It was the most expensive part I had left on the front suspension, figured it would be all downhill from there!

Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom

your truck looks sick so far, maybe the grill would look good in blue for contrast

Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom

I love coming home to this.......

Ran into some trouble though, the kit had no backing plates nor any brake pads. Not sure if that's the way they come or just got left out? Anybody else ever buy this kit? I emailed CPP but I am sure by that time they were already closed, so I am hoping to hear from them today. I did paint the caliper brackets though...........

sorry, turned out kinda dark. And here are the calipers........

also very dark, lol.
