Looks great except for the slight mess up on the front end. Love the body.

i know the lines are a little off and there are some spots that arent perfect.... but considering i used duct tape to make the lines and used rattle cans i think it came out great

Originally a six cylinder with a four speed, I dropped in a 402 and an 400 series automatic. I drove this truck for years and my son is still driving it. I would never sell it, but I doubt I ever get it back from him. It must have 400,000 miles on it. We just keep patching it. The sheetmetal has never been patched, we just scuffed the original paint and painted over it, about ten years ago. I put on 2 1/2 FlowMaster exhaust and he has switched it to a small block, 355 to save a little fuel money.

It would be an easy one to match as it is mono colored. I have been telling myself I am going to buy one of these bodies for my Savage, just never get it done. BB
