Nice - is it a 2wd or 4wd?

Looks like a 2wd Pro Street, more pic's please

Congratulations on the release. Thats very nice looking so far.

I don't understand how something, anything could spend two years in a body shop. Hell, there ain't that much body there!

Its a72 2wd Jimmy. No pro-street, didnt want to cut it up. The back tires are 325,s in an attempt to get some hook. We beefed up the drive train and did a roll bar (to keep the frame from twisting)that has swing outs that you cant see yet. It will appear near stock from the outside, except for the chrome torque thrusts which you see in the pictures.
More pitures to follow soon. Engine and tranny going in in a couple of weeks. The two tone paint will look better when we get the woodgrain back on, but the paint needs a final cut-in.
