Here's mine on a 2.5/4.0 static (ECE) drop, before we blew it apart to restifiy, in '07. The lower pic was taken after it was lowered, in '01.

After seeing your blue 72 and now the Dazed and Confused 72, I have to say you have great taste. Both vehicles are done very well and have a great look to them.

I do have a couple questions. Where did you get? or how did you make those filler pieces between the grill and radiator on the dazed and confused 72??

Also, same vehicle, I see that the cigarette lighter matches the stereo knobs... Where would I get something like that??

Thanks
Brett

Thank you!

The panels actually are available thru lmc, classic industries, etc now.

The cigarette lighter was in the truck when I got it so I am not sure.
