Re: My Blue 1957 build
Dude, great looking project. Its funny, your build is exactly what I planned to do on mine!!! Funny how plans change. Is your glove box door not opening all the way because of the evap unit? I had to trim my door quite a bit to even open partially.
How long before your tearing down the street? |

Re: My Blue 1957 build
15k wow that is a hefty amount. What would they be spraying? Gold? LOL I would definitely look around more. Is that just for a solid color?

Re: My Blue 1957 build
Are you gonna drive the wheels of this truck or is it gonna be more of a weekend warrior/show truck?
