Re: California Rod and Custom 68 roadster build
Awesome work! I love how you joined the bed and cab and tilting the rear of the bed inward. Lots of nice fab work. Can't wait to see more of the door/rocker mod. Excellent

Re: California Rod and Custom 68 roadster build
Man you are really kicking. I jus bought a 67 cab just for the doors. It is worse than some but better than some I have seen here on this forum. I think I will keep the cab and maybe do another one in the furure. The inside is like brane new. Any way keep up the work my friend.

Re: California Rod and Custom 68 roadster build
Wow! You guys are wizards! When I saw what you did with that cut on the rear of the bed it finally became clear why my last one was such a pain. Such nice work, very nice.
