**67cheby** · 03-09-2010, 01:01 PM

on page 22, in the background there is a inner fender that looks like it has been worked ??? what is it ? is it for sale??

68 short step · 03-09-2010, 03:43 PM

and samething on the otherside....and just some random shots..

72BlckButy · 03-09-2010, 03:46 PM

That thing is amazing! I love the rolls you put under the hood, that will completely draw attention to the motor.

Do you have a scheduled date for this to be complete? We need to get you and either this project, or your stepper, to the Midwest All Truck Nat's in 2010; or KS Goodguy's.

68 short step · 03-09-2010, 04:02 PM

thanks everyone....that is a stock inner fender, thats been moddified....i was experimenting with useing the stock ones, but the truck was just to low for that to happen....so it may land on "big red", but i dont know....as for being for sell, not at this time anyways.

dont have a completeion date, but im chipping away at it...this year has been real busy, with builds, and upcoming builds....

72BlckButy · 03-09-2010, 04:10 PM

You are definitely taking your time and using your attention to detail, so keep at it... it looks amazing.

68GMCCustom · 03-09-2010, 06:33 PM

Looks awesome!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 03-09-2010, 08:23 PM

Now thats perfection wow!!!!!!

Nice work man....

mcbassin · 03-09-2010, 11:51 PM

Wow! it looks like you have came a LONG ways with your metal working skills!

68 short step · 03-13-2010, 08:27 PM

started in on the hood....we wanted to keep the 71 style hood, but lower the front of it....so i choped 1.25" out of the front....here are some pics

butternut1972 · 03-14-2010, 12:41 PM

Very nice work. i am looking foward to watching this.

**kev2809** · 03-14-2010, 03:58 PM

love the under hood work...gonna look clean!

c10seconds · 03-14-2010, 08:20 PM

This is lookin really good!

Painter D · 03-14-2010, 08:57 PM

I love all the custom fab work you're doing under the hood and to the hood ,it looks spectacular! Sectioning the hood is a unique idea and I personally haven't seen it done on a 72' hood can't wait to see how it turns out, the core support is another unique idea that's lookin sweet. Everything is executed very well and looks proportionate ,good job on this one.

68 short step · 03-14-2010, 09:08 PM

got a little more work on the hood done...welded the front header pnl back on (after it got lowered 1.25")...got the two pieces joined together again (this was very time consuming getting the fit right)...and got it all tacked together, the curved pieces on the side need to be pie-cut and molded in still, but you get the idea of the final product....IMO this is one of my favorite mods, its very subtle, but has that sleak 'somethings been done, but i dont know what' look...the front has that verical look(from the front) of the 71, but has that slight laid back look of the 67-68 style hoods....i cut releif cuts near the curve on the front and also in the middle, so i could give it more of a angle then the 71 hood, but less of that of a 67-68 hood..so far its coming out very well and i think it fits the look of the truck awsome..also here is a side-by-side compairison of a stock 71 hood and the moddified one...i also couldnt resist setting it on the truck for some pics..
