That engine looks like a million bucks! Your sheet metal looks real solid, too, it will be a nice truck!

thanks everyone, Sparky I think the paint over the tape is a perty good idea. my dad will never know the differance. I do have to give thanks where thanks is do my father inlaw is helping out a lot even though he is a Chevy guy, he does have a great Nova though. any how if it wasn't for his little shop at his house this wouldn't be possable. soon as we get the engine set in the frame I will try to get some more up. Thanks again Casey

The earlier trucks have great looking hoods!
Casey, Help from your father in-law is great...but even a Chevy guy has to learn how to work on REAL trucks sooner or later...teach him well!
have a great weekend, Ed
