Re: 1972 Simple Fleetside Build
Thanks for the support... At first you really don't have an idea of what direction your going until you actually start.... The headers are Sanderson Headers. They are located in So San Francisco..

Re: 1972 Simple Fleetside Build
Finally laid down the interior paint.... Red definitely makes a statement against a Gloss Black Exterior...... We ended up doing all the prep and body work on the entire interior not knowing what will be covered once upholstery goes in...
