Thanks, atleast you get to drive yours....:lol:

Lately it's been more like have to drive it what with gas prices and still trying to work out the kinks from when I dropped it. :waah: but you're right it is still fun to drive. Looks like you'll get to drive yours again before too much longer.

Re: Low 72 progress pics...

kyle are the holes in the fire wall for air flow?:lol::lol:

Re: Low 72 progress pics...

I like the first one better - just kidding. Nice job, it looks a lot cleaner now.

Re: Low 72 progress pics...

That looks really good......makes the old door look like an air brake off a fighter!

After we left Los Pick-a Parto I was thinking that it would be a good place to practice chopping tops if we bring enough batteries!:lol::metal::lol:

Re: Low 72 progress pics...

Looks nice. The shape of the new door fits the body lines much better.

Re: Low 72 progress pics...

The new door looks way better. Nice job of fitting it in there. How did the aircraft stripper work for ya? Did it do a good job?

Re: Low 72 progress pics...

Nice! I like how it lines up w/ the marker light. I spent a lot of time deciding on placement when I cut the door in on my truck's bedside. Looks like you got it spot-on:cool:

Re: Low 72 progress pics...

You're version looks way better than the PO'S. In thread #234, did the po recss his whole door assbly?

Re: Low 72 progress pics...

What year and what are the HP#'s? I just picked up an 05 Vortec 5.3/4L60E for a new shop truck but know nothing about the HP#'s. It really does not matter because this thing will not weigh very much but will be one smooth ride. Here is the before and the look I am going for. I just ordered a TCI MII front end with Power rack, Disk brakes, Sway bar and air bags. For the rear I have a 95 T-Bird 8.8 IRS with Disk, Sway and Bags as well. This will be my son's first truck in another 15yrs :lol: but if I just let it sit it will be a pile of rust so I figure might as well cash in on the Patina fad for now and get it on the road.

Re: Low 72 progress pics...

Awesome Build!!! I saw the pics of the truck when you had seats in it... Do you have any of the full interior? I want to do the exact same set up, with the 3rd row suburban and the front bench with integrated seat belts...:metal:

Re: Low 72 progress pics...

Im so glad i didnt buy a set of the patriot heads. They dont sell them anymore.. I called a shop who had one set left. ALMOST bought it. Figured there was a reason as to why they werent being made. ahaha..

good build..
