Re: 1965 chevy truck one piece @a time

Re: 1965 chevy truck one piece @a time
I like where you're going with this build. I used the same rear bar on my truck but have yet to drive it. They look to me as if they belong. How do you like the wilwood calipers? Where did you pick up those rotors? Keep it up.

Re: 1965 chevy truck one piece @a time
heater box looks real good! Are you just brushing on the por-15. Looks like your getting good results with it.
