Re: 78 K20 custom delux "modern meets vintage" build thread

I managed to get mine to look almost factory. I used a trans tunnel from a automatic 4x4 to raise it up and clear, about an inch or so. Had to move the t case hole over and back for the 205 shifter.

Ok, so here are some more shots of the rear bumper. I just added the work/backup lights for now and spray painted it... itīll get the LED tail lights, the trailer plug, etc later and when all done the powder coating:
