First i just want to say that im new to this forum and so far it seems like a really good one, also im just now getting back into the hobby after not doing it for some years so a few things may be sloppy until i get into the grove again. Otherwise here is my progress on the 1965 Chevy custom, i haven't attempted a build like this so wish me luck.

Looks pretty good but tell me something in the real world how would you turn corners with it?

Cool start. A little different with the duallie wheels.

BTW, just so you know, if your post disappears, check for it in the "On the Workbench: Pickups, Vans, SUV's, Light Commercial" section. Either location, I'll be watching this. Welcome to the forum.

I didn't even see half the pictures before because I was logged into my other job. This thing is even cooler than I thought. The 3 link is sweet, I love the faux dually wheel setup in the back, and the 409 is just perfect for this! One thing I would suggest on this...since you are putting so much detail under the bed. Please consider adding some kind of air tank and a train horn or at least a big truck horn under the bed. This thing is screaming for a "get out of my way" warning. It's your build but, I just think it would be soo cool.

thank you man. I couldnt think of a more different engine to put in it than a 409, i love those things. I have revamped it a little with scratch built race style vaulve covers and a deep sump pan. And oh yeah of course. after i get the full air ride(bags tanks and battery's) im going to add another tank and a dual air horn setup. also im going to leave the floor primarily open and set it up to where i can take it off and on.
