Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Now thats a great notch cover idea mike ! I especially like the valve cover script, I had an old 6 cyl valve cover I was brainstorming with and though about smooth skinning my tailgate and putting the valve cover script on the lower left but i havent got anywhere near that point yet.
Also the rib on the cowl is pretty cool too, maybe continue the rib onto the dash ? the center rib might look good on the roof of a chopped truck. definately a few good ideas there. I keep thinking about removing the rib from my hood and making it flat and smooth guess well see when I get there. later

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
