Re: my 84 build
They will take some getting use to because you haven't had them on. I personally like the stock body look with all them trim and emblems. When I start to work on mine I plan to have it painted and put all original trim back on (well new that looks original), lower it about 5 inches and maybe add some 20" wheels or some new Rallys.

Re: my 84 build
Man sorry to hear that. Glad that the gf and you are both okay though. So what are your plans now. I would imagine you are probably looking for a new frame to swap over. Keep us posted on what is going on. I had been wondering why I hadn't seen you posting for some time now.

Cool. Mine has been painted and everything, so if that one falls through, let me know. It will be pretty cheap.

Re: my 84 build
Thought you were talking about using sand paper.

Re: my 84 build
how did you tape off the silver and keep the lines so straight? I have the same paint job on the truck that im restoring. How much black paint did you leave in the front of the fender? thanks
