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.

Haven't completely decided yet. I may drill front of manifold and run a pvc off Back of valve cover. I also may use some oval ones off back of covers. What do yall think?

Thanks Eric. Following on some stuff. I like that truck alot. Wanting to do something similar without building "the same truck." Uner the hood and the bed will be different looking and should seperate the two. Your original build is what got me started, thats for sure!

Re: '72 Drop member... "Betty"
Alright guys, couple of questions.

1. What kind of luck have you had with carpet from brothers, LMC etc. Should I get from there or have a local upholstry shop do it to ensure fit and size.

2. Should I put vent windows in first on door glass first when I reassemble the doors?
