now that it is almost done

i am looking for honest opinions on the truck i have created .
now remember the 69 was a very bad resto that i bought a lot of bondo and spray foam and metal tape so i wasn't cutting up a original truck. the blazer i used was rusted out too. so remember that with your opinion the truck has all new sheet metal the paint is all beat up new paint just beat up to look old this is not a trailer queen lol.

here are some pics.

Re: now that it is almost done

If its safe and mechanically sound I think your good to go. Might think about putting a bed floor in it haha! Drive and enjoy, do up grades when and if you get the itch.

Re: now that it is almost done

It looks like the driveshaft is a bit short and not allowing the yoke to go deep enough into the trans.

yes its safe all new mounts 2x beefier then factory now has power steering and power brakes disc front drum back new engine and fuel tank in the back, modern seat with built in shoulder straps.etc
the reason for making the truck is i drive a trans am in the good weather and i needed something to drive to work during our long ass winters up here in canada so this was my way of getting my cake and eating it too.
