Great build. What color is it going to be painted ?

Nice looking truck.
Couple questions. What fuel tank cell you use?
What are you going to do with hood hinges?

Stock hood hinges and the guys at high octane added a gas lift struts to hold the hood up , the tank is a aluminum between the rear frame rails made for the 73-87 trucks
