olds w30 truck

[dusterbd13]

ive been thinking, and that may be a bad thing. with the bravada grille in the truck, and the blazer bumper going on the back, it vaugely reminds me of a 70 olds 442. so i want to put the 442 W30 style to it with the scooped hood, etc. i was wondering if you could chop some w30 scoops on the hood, shave the beltline molding, and chop on some cragar soft 8's (17 inchers). also feel free to make other tweaks that you feel would work, but remember that they cant be too exotic as im doing it all on my own, and im not a professional body guy. also, if we could just do one with my ideas only, that would be cool. then get a little nuts.

thanks for any help. the imigas are all from my photobucket account, and are as high resolution as my camera will take.

again, thanks
Michael

I'm of no use, I just love those fender flares. Not a big fan of shaving the body line, but that's your call. That truck would clean up really well, I like it just the way it is.

The scoops might look nice though.

not the body line, just the black plastic moulding thats discolored, peeling, and cheap looking.

thanks for the comments.

Michael, Im no pro but this is what I came up with rough draft in photoshop, I removed the body line (personal preference I guess). I also shaved your rear bumper, and cleaned up the dent in the hood, and removed your side marker lamps and the lamps in the front bumper. :)

Edit, I also shaved your antenna, and haven't figured out how to do wheels yet, I'm a shutter bug... :P

chevytosvt: thanks for the hard work. i appreciate the help.

i never thought about shaving it more than the trim, but i kinda like the handleless, bodylineless, look. dunno. something to consider.

the scoops are pretty close. is there any way we could extend them the whole way to the cowl and leading edge of the hood?
