Nice, so you are pushing near 400 hp at the crank I would guess with even more torque over that..... Now just keep other cars away from it! Seriously, I reluctantly had to put side moldings back on my truck because shopping carts were giving me nightmares. If guys pull to close to me at cruise-ins I end up moving. Just a really great looking truck.....

Thanks man, yeah some people don't care or think about the time put into these builds when they are near you but you got to have fun with them.

The Electric Windows are installed and working properly. I had the glass custom cut to a template I made. The store bought glass just did not fit to my liking. The fits great now.

NICE!
I just discovered the 2 door kits for 4 doors, Makes me want to build a 55 Gasser.
If I can find a decent priced 4 door?
I saw a couple on ebay that were cheap but no mention of Titles and I have too many projects currently but after I get caught up I want to build one.

Love the look of a 55 Gasser
