Thanks for the kind words . I just need 1-2 " lower to have it sit just wright and if I could have the front balance it self out, that would be great .

Hi everyone its been just about a year since my last post . I had the 72 repainted and now in the process of getting ready to start putting it back together . This has been more time and money that I have ever thought. In the end it should look better than it did . Now if I could teach myself to stop making changes and just be happy . I was never impressed with the first paint job but now it looks like glass . SUCKS to have it painted again . Will have pics next week .

Hollywood Knight · 06-27-2011, 08:20 PM

Here are some picks . Still looks the same , but in person you can really see a difference .

FRENCHBLUE72 · 06-27-2011, 08:23 PM

Good looking ride..

Hollywood Knight · 06-27-2011, 08:24 PM

a few more

Hollywood Knight · 06-27-2011, 08:32 PM

Now the cab , doors and bed are the same color . In the pick is my friend Doug who Painted the truck at his house . He also has a shop in Mesa Az.

**67cheby** · 06-27-2011, 09:57 PM

wow..nice work

BAGNDRAGIT · 06-28-2011, 03:55 PM

man, all you east valley guys are too far!!

Rick, the paint looks awesome, i will have to see it in person.
also looking through the photos i would definitely suggest the new wiring harness. and i can defiantly make the install happen, and clean it up a bit at the same time. i don't like how the factory harness runs across the top of the firewall, but im not sharing my secrets on the forum

also are you running an internally regulated alternator?

also about the hood hinges, whenever you want to come get them they're yours. you can just have them. i know i wont ever use them or need them.

still looking into the 7in drop springs for you. bagging the rear would be easy though.
