Short63,

Nice work on the paint! She's a real beauty. Did you purchase those tubs for the back wheel wells or did you make them?
Very cool truck.

No I made them took me quite awhile as I took good ones orignal size and split them and added 7 or so inches. Did not want to just sit the well on the bed strips so designed a jig to bend the metal strip with the same indentations as the orignal one's with a hydraulic press where I use to work. wheel wells

What a beautiful truck. The workmanship looks fantastic along with the build design. Love the detail on the tub flanges, and appreciate how much work that took. Of the 60-66 Chevys the 1963 has always been my favorite.

I am a bit of a metal man myself. I can really appreciate the work that went into an undertaking like that. Keep up the good work!
