I know what you mean... deciding final color is a tough decision. Look forward to watching the build thread and the progress.

Re: Harpie's 71 SWB 5.3LS build
Thanks guys appreciate the kind words it's nice to see all that freaking work is starting to pay off. On another note I should have the rearend finished up in the next few days and I can get this sucker back as a roller. Got the 373s in just gotta get the new seals and stuff in and button it back up and then a lil satin black and it will be good as new. Excited to get my ECE drop kit installed.

Re: Harpie's 71 SWB 5.3LS build
Well thanks guys for all the kind words I can see the light at the end of the tunnel I think lol anyway I got me a good deal today I had ordered some sheet metal and when I opened it all one of my new bedsides had been dropped or bumped at some point. It wasn't really bad but I called them anyway and had to send pics ofcourse. I waited a couple days and they called back today and said I had another one on the way and to do whatever I wanted with the damaged one. So guess I got me a spare lighty dinged right hand bedside for free.
