Re: 1967 D250 Swepline Rat Rod...WORK IN PROGRESS!

I did the whitewalls myself with a grinder and a flapdisk. My plans are to bag the front, after I put the big block in.(I hope that's the way to go about it) I wasn't sure if I should try to build the front suspension before the motor swap, cause I'm not sure where my clearances will be until the mo...

Thought about just doing stock ...
