NOW i REGRET buying it because i cant just "HALF #!@$" anything i have got to go all the way !!! and i am wasting time working on it when i should be working on the truck ... i was getting a little burned out on the truck though maybe this will re light my fire for the truck

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

at least your truck looks more like a truck than mine at this point.

i only have 30 more days to make it show worthy. i really like how the rear end is all set up though.
