Awesome project!! Great progress pics! Thanks a lot for sharing it with us! Can't wait to see more pics.

And love the sticker ''Chevy Only''. Sooo freaking cool!

Awesome ride. Love the flip forward hood.
We put the motor in mine last week. Still need some final touch ups before I start her up. We still have a long way to go before she gets done.

Hey frenchblue72, what a transformation!!! (and a ton of work). How many hours would you guess you have in your truck? Looking great!! Keep up the good work.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-30-2011, 11:10 AM

No idea on hours in the truck.. Part of my problem was I wanted it right and kept changing stuff around.. Now im just getting it dont right and not making anymore mods that I can help..

Red4x4 · 01-02-2012, 01:25 AM

Cool bed picture.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-08-2012, 10:11 AM

For everyone askin about the hood mod here is the thread on how to do it..
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=218253

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-08-2012, 10:13 AM

Ok so Im back after a computer virus got the best of me...... Who wants some pics....

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-08-2012, 10:18 AM

Im starting from the oldest pics on my card 1st so some of these maybe a repost.. I got these stainless powersteering lines installed.... Very bad ass..

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-08-2012, 10:23 AM

Heres the start of my trans crossmember... started with 2" tube and an old stock crossmember... I cut the bolt hole locations out of the stock crossmember and made a nice little pad to weld them to the tube..

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-08-2012, 10:26 AM

Got the mount all boxed in and welded and ground smooth..

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-08-2012, 10:35 AM

Started building the exhaust... Anyone who has tried to keep the pipes up above the frame rails while running a big block knows how hard this was... My patroit headers are diffrent on both sides so this took some trial and error.. Once I got the pipe cut right and welded back together and smoothed out I painted it with some bar b q paint... I hope the paint holds up to the heat.. Also the ends of the pipe were flared out so the next section of pipe will slip into it.. Bte I tried to have the exhaust shop down the street bend up my drivers side and they told me I was nuts and to just let the exhaust hang below the frame cuase it was not gonna work...

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-08-2012, 10:40 AM

Got the pipes all painted up and went down and bought some stainless hardware for the install.. I also included a half ass pic of the pipes installed..

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-08-2012, 10:47 AM

When I replaced my bedside it had the inner steak pockets cut off... It bugged the hell out of me so I went ahead and cut off the rest of them.. Also take a look at my hacked inner bedsides from trying to get the wheels and tires up as far as I could... Stay tuned thats gonna get fixed...

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-08-2012, 10:50 AM

Finally welded in the inner bed side patch panels.. I had cut the section out to give me room to get the dents out of the outter bed side so I would have to use less filler... More work this way but it turned out better..

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-08-2012, 10:56 AM

This mod I stole from n2billet(thanks kieth)... I had some inner fenders that I was not gonna use sooooo out came the cut off wheels.. I should have moved the inner tub up higher but I test fitted the 20"s to make sure they would fit first... This is where I am at right now... I am gonna remove the bed and finish up the welding on these today hopefully..

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-08-2012, 10:59 AM

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-08-2012, 11:04 AM

rest of the inner pics..

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-08-2012, 11:07 AM

Last of the pics for now....
