Re: 69 longhorn just finished !
Nice job. That's a different look with those wheels and tires.

Re: 69 longhorn just finished !
69 was the only year for that shade... my old 69 GMC was that color originally... good looking too in my opinion.
Your rendering looks pretty sharp too though! |

Re: 69 longhorn just finished !
Looks like it needs less tire and more drop.
