clem here is how i come up with the idea. i like the look of this old mercury grill http://ts2.mm.bing.net/th?id=H.47148...69741&pid=15.1
plus i love the old belair dashes so i figured i would kinda combine them to make my own

i have had several metal cutting blades but they seem to wear out kinda fast because the saw turns to fast. i need to change up the pullies to slow it down. but the last time i wore out my metal cutting blade i said screw it and put on my wood cutting blade and it works pretty good actually and have lasted way longer. It is super loud when cutting though :lol::lol:

Great truck, great pics. I think you started a new trend with the dash skirting. It looks like GM intended it to be there, especially with the sail panels and pleated seats. Nice work.

Re: intro + 66 black bagged long fleet
 
That is looking so amazing, thanks for sharing the new pictures. I think you dash is looking great too. Keep up the awesome job that you are doing and keep sending us the latest as you continue working on your truck. We'll be seeing it in a magazine I bet.
