To shave of not to shave.... that is the question! lol

Either way there is so much to take in on this truck it will look good either way. And the paint looks killer! Cant wait to see it on the truck!

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

Looking good Mike!!

My honest opinion... I HATE the part that stickes down (where the panels are pinched together) it drives me nuts. I was thinking about painting mine black just to try and hide it a little more. If you have done this much work for your truck and as picky and detailed as you are.... you might as well go ahead and do it. One of my favorite trucks is a truck Fesler built and you can really see it in these pro photos. To me... it makes it look like the body is out of line. I know you are prob ready to get this thing done... but it will make a world of difference in your magazine shoots I say go ahead and do it!

Here is a pic of the truck I mentioned above.

Man...if I don't check this build daily I feel like I miss out on a lot! The paint and color choice is spot on and looks amazing! I have to agree that the pinches should go...with as detailed as your build is, it'd be that 1 thing that "should have been done".
