Wow! You don't play around...and you make it look easy. What are your plans? Got any sketches or pix of what the outcome will be? Trying to get someone on this site to photoshop my ideas for my '63 Split Window C10.

Ive never been a big fan of the low rides but I have to tell you that I am completely impressed with all the fab work you are doing. Its amazing watching the transformation of a Stock Chevy PU to the engineering marvel your creating. Keep sending pictures.
