    Yeah that's a good point.
    I been studying a lot on those processes the last couple of days.

    I'm thinking I am going to just roll it with new wheels and new hubcaps for a while. I am going to be removing all the molding and doing the patina process to the body and then putting molding back on.

    We'll see what develops, lmao there is at least 4 colors of paint on the truck and it's hard to tell if they are all solid to the whole truck. I will know soon enough.

    You should really just leave it how it is, slam it, and rock some Intros or Billet Specialties on it. Twisted Vistas would look sick.

    Also, you need to join 67-72chevytrucks.com

    That website saved my ass when I did my frame off on my 69

    It's definitely getting dropped a good bit, not bagged or body dropped, just a good solid static drop.

    I have thought about going with some modern billet type wheels on it , but unsure of that still.

    On the paint, if it wasn't so crappy looking and even peeling in some areas I might consider leaving it alone, but it's pretty shitty to put it honestly.

    The least I feel I have to do it is go over the whole truck with a extremely light wet sanding to smooth it out and clean it up some.

    I will check that website out, thanks!

    Going to do this type of finish, but of course with the gray paint that's on the truck.

    I'm thinking the drop is going to be similar to this.

    Exactly, definitely no whites walls, haha.

    That's just how thos truck happened to be when I ran across it, I like how they finished to paint and the drop and then stuck with the moldings.

    I think some stock width or and inch narrower in front with decent sized tires.

    Minimum 15x10s in the back, more like 15x12s with some wide tires.

    Stock hubcaps and stock wheels, but to those sizes.

    I've got a lot of money going into to many different pojects at the moment, but I might just be interested in these. Can you email me some pics to double047@yahoo.com?
