Re: southwest 68
well been awhile but i've made a little progress. got it back from powdercoat, bought the frontend kit, brakes, and some air bag stuff. put the bed floor on and noticed the blazer tank hits, not too happy about that. i lowered it down, then the neck is almost impossible to reach now.

Re: southwest 68
That thing is looking killer pocketpool, awesome work!

I was wondering what happened to your build, but I'm glad to see that things are still moving forward.

Keep it up!

Re: southwest 68
threw the body on, had to see how it would sit.

almost there though. still have to run brake lines, fuel lines, plumb and wire the bags, wire the truck and get exhaust.

70 chevy i picked up awhile back. i put new brakes all around, 1 inch lowering blocks in the back, new shocks and new chrome bumpers. next is rockers and part of the driver's floor needs replaced. had to get the 68 rolling so i can get the 70 in the shop.
