wow...

Man tuff4rd, that really made a huge difference...

I'm normally not a huge fan of SWB bumps , '65 slicks yes, but not bumps.
There's only two things IMO that could make me like yer truck more...

#1 If it were a '68 .... '68's rule !!!
#2 If it were parked at my house.... :wink:

That is beautiful. What color red is that? Mine was originally candyapple and wimbeldon. If that is what it is going to look like, I cant wait. Good job.
