I really like the look of the widened bed. It makes it look so much more balanced.

Man you do nice work. Figured I should comment and jump onboard to see this thing through. Love how the frame has turned out with the PB stuff bolt-less, nice touch.:metal:

Well we got to run over to Clem and Kims place the other night...drooled over everything he has ...including his new "old" house it is more amazing then the gas station. This dude just rocks ! Anyway we picked up a couple donor hoods and me and the wife spent our 21st Anniversary night building a notch cover for Boosted Bertha !

I know I am the only one still digging notch covers but one of my pet peeves is bed floors that are 6 inches deep....I want it to still look like it has a bed

interesting, will you make them with a provision to bolt to the 3 rear bolt holes? the 2 upper and the 1 lower by the frame?
I like the skirt that drops down in front of the firewall- if chevy had done that a lot less of 60-66's would be rusted out.
