Looks really good! Nice & shiny. Only problem with that is that I'd wanna keep it looking that way. :lol:

Your welcome Darrah. I don't know if you know or want to do this. But there are some truck shops( LMC I think) that sell chrome letter bezels for your grill. I think it would look sharp. :chevy:

Found this automatic column with the horn ring.:metal: Don't know if we are going to use it or not but nice to have in case.

Thanks Guys.

Where do I start??

Just read the whole thread, David, Darrah, you guys are inspirational.

I have an 18 year old son, and unless it has wi-fi, takes batteries or is disposable, he is just not interested. (he can create a mean XL spreadsheet though)

I am so impressed with the relationship you guys have and all the work you have done so far.

I would be happy to have a girl like Darrah date my son, especially if she got him interested in mechanical stuff.

I will be watching the rest of this build and hope she gets all the help she can to make up some short cuts.

Alan I hope you like as much as I do.:lol: still waiting on the lug nuts but could'nt wait to see them on the 64.
