DRIPTROIT 71

Pat, I think I'm going to have to make a trip to Canada for fabrication classes. I like to keep going back to look at your shop. Excellent work!!

I thought that I had commented on this one. Great work!! Looks Great!!

Excellent Detail Work!!!

Incredible! I like old school Nascar. Great work!!

I really like this project!! I have a soft spot for the 66/67 Satellites and Belvederes. I had two 66 hardtop Satellites and one 67 Belvedere parts car. All three of them had 14" tires on them from the factory. Of course, none of them were Hemis. Awesome Work so far!!!

Looks Awesome!!! I really like the color!! Great Work!!!

I really like this project!! The Cummins does weigh almost twice as much as a Big Block Chevrolet, but I've also seen plenty of conversions. I believe this truck could be done in 1:1. Great work so far! I'm looking forward to seeing more!!
