Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Low, red and mean will look great also. I like most colors as long as you get the low and mean in there

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
This looks like a great shot for the Holley Terminator EFI ads. Just need a red headlight... Looks good!

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Pics look awesome, just out of curiosity, what are you trimming on your bed?

![]() Thanks Jason, basically the tires sit right up against the inside of the bed sides. I don't know how I was able to air it out but I could never drive it that way. It would rub the whole time. So I have to cut out the inside of the bedsides to clear the tires. You can see in the pic I still have a little bit to trim. Basically what I did was take a wheel tub, place it exactly where I want it to sit and traced out the inside. Then just started cutting.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
I plan on making a filler piece similar to what n2billet did on Hazel and welding it in. This way I add the strength back to the bedside that I cut out.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Sounds like a good plan. I've thought about doing this to mine, but I'm not going that low for a while. I do really like the idea though.
Seeing all these dropmember builds is making me want to cut mine up. I really don't want to do that yet though. It's very conflicting, and you're not helping! ![]()

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Started to pick up some paint for the truck, decided to go with PPG. Figured if I spend the money on quality materials then it should lay down and cover better for me. Since I'm a newby painter I think this is important.
I went back and forth on Viper red and Torch red. I then saw a new Corvette in Torch sitting in the sunlight and fell in love with the color. So I ordered a gallon of DBC Deltron 2000 which reduces to two gallons of paint. I'll probably pick up another quart of it so I have 2.5 gallons of paint incase I have some mistakes.

In this pic the bed is off the ground more than the cab, but the body lines match perfectly. My OCD isn't ok with this. ![]()
