Project 72 Shades of Gray
I have a fairly detail build page going on FB for this build that I am going to try and transfer over to this site.. I am about 6 weeks into this truck that was a stripped cab on a roller.
I will give more build details soon on this upper end build.

Re: Project 72 Shades of Gray
anyone have any experience with Porterbuilt hood hinges that mount to the upper cowl?, I doubt the fender mount system isn't going to work for us.

Re: Project 72 Shades of Gray
I think Hart Rod made a bracket to mount inside the cowl for his truck, I'll try to find how he did it...

Re: Project 72 Shades of Gray
the goal is perfect gaps everywhere, moving metal where necessary. The left door is basically done from the window frame except for the window frame.. waiting. gaps are on hold till the Porterbuild suspension is fully mocked up and final cut measurements for the rear end are acquired. also waiting for the cowl mount hood hinges to arrive.
