Need some more pics if you got the chance. You know of any kits you don't have to fab yourself for the forward tilt hood?

Hey LOWRIDE,
AWESOME project! I dig the front inner fenders . . . clean looking and VERY functional! You did a great job with the tube rear crossmember also. Looking forward to seeing your progress. I think you might start a new trend in N.Z.!:chevy:
Later,
Mark

THIS is a bad looking ride, driving to a meet or carshow would be outta the question as i i dont thik the airbags could flot ya all the way here LOL. Dude nice work, as nice as i seen in awhile. good luck on the rest.

Re: Z frames and shaved handles
 
Hey Lowride, glad your back to work hope the arm is okay. You had a picture posted a few pages back of your one piece glass, are you building your own power window tracks and using certain motors or did you use someone's kit. These trucks all need to have one piece glass, less headaches and they look great. Your truck looks great, love the low stance. I might just have to trim the drip rail it looks real good, did it pose any problems.


Thanks, and good luck
