Re: '72 Drop member... "Betty"
Got all of the final mock up finished. Time to disassemble, finish some welding and then off to the powder coat man a a week or so. Everything is going smoothly. Can't say enough about Porterbuilt. While the chassis is gone I'll get started on the motor. Got a few cool little things in mind for it. Stay tuned.
Whoaa Black Betty! Lmao

Thanks Eric. Took everything to the powder coater, so that will be a couple weeks. In the mean time I can get the engine finished and hopefully the cab!

I really like those gussets. They look sweet.

Your/Willie's metal skills are slick!

Running a mostly stock 350. Adding some cool stuff to it though to keep an old school/stock look. Similar to 67Cheby's motor

Haven't done much with the truck lately because I had to run to Vegas for a little nascar. I did get the seat back from upholstery though. Let me know what you think.

Re: '72 Drop member... "Betty"
Should have gotten the bright red.

You asked.. so, honestly I'm not a big fan of flashy stuff. To me red interior is like a woman in red spike heels. It just demands attention,.. and that's not my style.

But.. if YOU like it,.. I like it. If we all liked the same color the world would be a boring place.

I absolutely love it, to me a Black truck just looks perfect with a Red Interior.

Re: '72 Drop member... "Betty"
Just to clarify, I'm not saying it will look bad with red. I prob shouldn't have even posted ..but you did ask for opinions. You may not like mine and that's cool too. Just saying.

Awesome build regardless.
