Hey guys,

I've been a member for awhile now checking out the scene and definitely like what i see! I thought it was about time to post a project thread to share with everyone what my buddy and I are building. It is a 68 Chevy truck that we have dubbed "Retroactive" due to the retro theme. I will try to attach a few photos of the chassis, engine, metalwork, and overall pics although I might screw it up since this is my first thread. I'll post more info later with specifics but the quick and dirty details are, MII style front suspension, CPP trailing arms, boxed chassis, air ride, Modified LS2 to fit the retro theme, LOTS of metal work, subtle changes on the outside but all one off under the hood, interior and underneath. Thanks!

Awesome truck, but then I'm biased. I've been to your website and seen it in a mag. I believe. Can't wait to see it done. Keep the updates coming.

I love this truck! I also have been to your website many times. I like how you ran alot of the wiring and hard lines in the frame. Great job on everything!
