I am so pleased for you Donnie, the hours and hours of hard work are coming together.
Thanks. I was not sure about the two tone but I really like it to.

Looks great, your tubs and door panels are about the color I want to paint my truck.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy

Ok guys I need your honest opinion. My truck has bucket seats and a console. No room for anything but 2 people. I plan on driving this thing a lot and all over so I need some storage. How does this look for storage?

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy

Personally I like the big ones that fill the entire front of the bed and sit over the rails, but That looks sweet!

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy

Outstanding work, looks great. And I think the smaller box for storage is a good choice because it takes less away from all the hard work you've put in it.

I was wondering, did your drop kit include spindles or was it just springs and shocks?

Also do you have any parts left from your donor trucks you want to sell. I'm looking for bumper brackets (front & back). thanks.

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy

I like the smaller box , as it looks less intrusive . But just to mess with your head , what about painting it the same colour as the arches .
