66 DiBella (means of the beautiful)

[superflysteiny]

Keep in mind the hood is all the way up and when the hood is dropped half way down it looks different. I could move them in off the hinges and down to the inner part but I need to get the hood gap fixed on the front first and the bumper finished. I will go back to the struts

just so you know ... i wasnt saying the hood props looked bad , i was just saying i think they would look better off of the cowl

I know that dont worry about it. I see what you are saying. I should have gone with my first instinct and moved them to the inside. Thats what I get for starting at 8. I want to here what you guys have to say so don't worry about it. Thanks

Nice confidence in your work, some of the fun is spit ballin' ideas, but some guys get weirded out...enjoy the process.

You can say that again. I want the help, thats what makes this site cool. Plus it makes for a better truck. I am having a rendering done as we speak so I will keep you guys posted, also taking a few day off from the truck I need to take a break.

Then I will weld the bumper to the fenders and the front support. Should look cool. I have never seen a bumper welded and smoothed to the front of the truck. I am sure it has been done, I just have never seen it. What do you think????

That's a nice bumper.

Well I picked the sub up for 400 already blasted. Talked to Bob Grant this weekend. He is going to make this sub into a tahoe for me we are going to chop it rake front and back windows and nomad roof lines. Should be a really cool project. While he is doing the body I will do the chassis. I will keep you guys posted. I will not start this project for a few months as bob does not have time for this project nor do I.

Patna, it's coming together, and looks just as good in person as these pics. See you tonight.

Ya I have been wanting to paint that go kart for a long time just have not gotten to it. I agree with you on the struts look way better thanks for the help. The hood on the suburban I am sure will go. I may have to have it skinned by grant not sure on the style of the truck we are going for yet.

I have to agree with you. I think the tahoe will be crazy. I am super excited about this project. I think bob can give me what I am looking for but we will have to see. Also I just picked up a sponsor from ppg on my 1940 ford delux. The car is heading out to Indiana to be painted in December so thats cool.
