Hey, what are the tail lights from? They look like they fit the fender curves well.

Great job on the tail lights, I,m not sure about the filler cap though. It seems like it distracts from the tail lights?

the filler may end up with a body color cap after paint

Thanks for the nice comments....its not going to be a full out custom (no big body mods...chopping, sectioning, pancaking, etc... )

but I am planning on changing the front gravel pan, maybe integrating a 55 pontiac grill into it,
and slimming down the stake pockets on the sides of the box.

I am also looking into molding the instrument cluster from a 60 Rambler into the dash, just gotta see how feasable it'll be...and there is a 9 inch ford rear end sitting on the bench that will get mounted on top of the rear springs

It has a 429/C6 combo, and a 21 gallon chevy van gas tank between the rear frame rails...I am also waiting for a CPP 3 inch drop axle to show up.

In general my tastes run more toward the "dark side" This is my first "popular vehicle" project its nice being able to order sheetmetal rather than fabbing everything, my other big ones have been a 46 hudson pickup and a 71 AMX so I gotta make it a little weird
