Re: 68 Lowrider updates

This is a picture of the truck the day the tires and wheels were put on. He stopped to show me the newest look, before the moldings were put on. Stay tuned for more pics and posts.

Re: 68 Lowrider updates

Before:


After:





Scott worked his magic on the bumper and brackets today. The bumper and brackets were fully installed in these pictures and he called me to look at it,he asked if he could shorten the brackets and cut the bumper in half and pull it within a consistant half inch of the grill as well as sucking it closer to the fender sides and weld it back together, so thats what we did, the bumper was sent to the chrome shop to be stripped and Scott started cutting and welding brackets. Tomorrow the Trends grill comes out as well as the grill trim and new trim will be installed.All the rear trim was hung with tape for a trial fit before the drilling of the holes which I believe started this evening.
