So this is where things got a little complicated.....here is what the truck looks like with the extended front valance piece....if you look you can notice that it looks a little wider...

The WA state plate just happened to be on the bumper...or atleast it was when it came out of the field of dreams....

Sooooo
After alot of thinking and several beer.....Someone came up with the idea to split the top portion of the bumper and add a piece to it make the valance look smaller....it's not all finished yet but i think it will look okay...it's growing on me now....

I pulled my other short box rolling chassis into the shop yesturday...I plan on washing it and cleaning it up a bit.....it's been sitting for awhile undercover but it needs some TLC. I think I can use a break from the pro street truck for a bit.

I totally understand that! That's why I pushed the truck I was working on out side to work on my wife's truck. My Longhorn has had no work done to it since I dropped it off. There for, I'm counting on the 76 being easier to get running than the Longhorn now that I'll more than likely be bringing it back home to finish myself. Keep at it man, you too have game! :lol:

The new mods look great! Nice and subtle, just the way I like it. I always liked the mods where people look them and they start scratching their heads. They know that something has been done, but they just can't figure it out. That's when you know you've done it right.

I totally hear you on this one!!
I gots no skills ......... I have no Kung Fu
Even though my space heater keeps the garage at about 70* even on days like yesterday when it was -40* outside. But still, I may invest in a creeper, or like Veronika a long skate board ;) because that floor is still cold as ....... well use your imagination LOL !!!

I work out of town regularly where it gets into the mid -40's so i feel your pain....I just built a shop addition and stuffed a nice heating unit into and it sure makes me wanna spend more time in the shop. More room and heat with a nice smoothy shiney floor it's all good.

Ohhhh and the shop envy sets in once again !!!
Nothing like trying to roll a few hundred pounds of newly rebuilt engine and transmission on a hoist across an uneven and cracked floor to give you the scrotum check.

When I lay my shop floor it is going to be one of those like yours, smooth, shiney, hard and reinforced with rebar so I can set a lift in there if I ever get to be so lucky !!

I hear you there. My floor isn't perfect in my shop, but it beats the hell out of dirt or gravel. :lol: And believe me, I'm going to try to get the 76 running this week. Tired of pushing all the trucks around. :lol:
