Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

As far as the body drop goes, your truck has the perfect stance right now...but if you decide to put it on, I'm sure it will look great too. Either way will still make for an awesome truck. Ultimately, it's your choice though!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

I dig the bdrop idea. Maybe give the fan shroud and rad mount a good eye for clearance when the core is dropped before pulling the trigger. Tons of work there and great detail to go trimming on for 3/4". Your doing a great job man. I knew I picked the right project for inspiration.

No same welder the valve had just gone bad that let the gas feed to the gun, they replaced it under warranty, but at first we thought it was the regulator so we tried that first oh well I have a back up regulator for free now !
