Very nice Mike! It looks super cool and original idea.

**67cheby** · 11-25-2011, 05:14 PM

thanks guys i am pretty pumped about the way it is turning out...lot of welding / grinding/ and body work left , along with building a hinge and a set of gas struts

72BlckButy · 11-25-2011, 11:41 PM

Looks good Mike!

raull · 11-26-2011, 12:17 AM

wow you've been busy , i missed a whole page , that hood idea and the logo on it ,
very nice touch !!!

hgs_notes · 11-26-2011, 09:12 AM

Love it. Wish I had thought of it.

**67cheby** · 11-26-2011, 10:23 AM

thanks everyone, greatly appreciate the encouragement !

67c10rustbuket · 11-26-2011, 11:36 AM

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

butternut1972 · 11-26-2011, 12:13 PM

That looks really cool. Nice job.

**67cheby** · 11-28-2011, 10:22 AM

My good buddy Chip felt sorry for me and loaned me his real welder...i will never weld with a flux-core again !!! I got the rear bed brace completely welded up and smoothed down (pretty pumped about that) and the notch cover i have most of the welding done anyway enough talk here are the pics

Oh yeah! Looking great Mike! See I told you that you could weld

**67cheby** · 11-28-2011, 12:27 PM

man i am telling you ....a real welder makes all of the difference , and it wasnt a big expensive one just a small Hobart with gas, perfect for the kind of stuff i need !

romes20 · 11-28-2011, 01:01 PM

Ive been watching this build for a while now, looking great so far man. I really like what you've done with the notch cover in the bed.
