Look'in real good! Keep up the good progress!!!

Re: My 56 is on the ground.....
 

If I only came as close to doing my truck as nice as you have done yours.. One hell of a truck there.

Re: My 56 is on the ground.....
 

I thought you meant like laying rocker...still cool as hell though

Re: My 56 is on the ground.....
 

Lookin good !!!

Brian ..:cool:

Re: My 56 is on the ground.....
 

What kind (and size) of rims are those? I really like the look.

Re: My 56 is on the ground.....
 

nice stance looks good

Re: My 56 is on the ground.....
 

Looks really solid! I think mine will sit simular to yours, looks good!

Re: My 56 is on the ground.....
 

looks really good.

what diameter are those tires, and how high is your rocker panel off the ground?

Re: My 56 is on the ground.....
 

The tires are 17x8 all the way around. I got them for a heck of a deal from a guy name street rod Jerry who used to work with Foose. I can't remember what the ofsets were on them though. The rims are American Racing (Torq Thrust II's)

Re: My 56 is on the ground.....
 

i meant the tires, not the wheels. what is the overall diameter of you tire.

i am working out my final ride height, and i was just wondering how it compares to yours

Re: My 56 is on the ground.....
 

The rears are 255/50/17 and the fronts are 225/50/17. If I get a different offset for the rear, I could get a wider tire.

Re: My 56 is on the ground.....
 

How many inches would you say taking out 2 coil is? I think I need to do this short term before I put air bags on.

Re: My 56 is on the ground.....
 

If you have brand new coils springs drive the car for a while because the springs will settle. Let the springs settle before you cut them or you may have too much of a drop if you cut them first and then the springs settle. If the springs are not new this is a mute point

Re: My 56 is on the ground.....
 

Good Lookin truck you got there, keep up the nice work and keep sending pics.

Re: My 56 is on the ground.....
 

I have used springs so they're alreay settled, I just need to cut them to bring the front down some.

Re: My 56 is on the ground.....
 

Here is more of the color, the ghost flames will be going on next week

Re: My 56 is on the ground.....
 

NICE!!! thats a perfect color and stance for that truck.

I plan on our 58 GMC short fleet to be sitting lower than that once I get the Nova subframe welded on.

You GOTTA keep us updated on this one!! Nice work

Re: My 56 is on the ground.....
 

I will keep you guys up to date, I am getting excited and can't wait to get it on the road.

Re: My 56 is on the ground.....
 

Looking good man. Its going to be a really nice truck.

Re: My 56 is on the ground.....
 

You guys are amazing! The quality work that's going into these trucks are fantastic, one question;

Do you plan on painting the upper and lower valance area a different color? It's masked off that's why I ask.

Tri5

Re: My 56 is on the ground.....
 

Tri 5, not it is already painted thats why it is masked off. The fenders just got painted so the ghost flames can be painted.

Re: My 56 is on the ground.....
 

what color is that? looks like an awesome chocie, how are you going to go about doing your ghost flames? copper pearl mixed with the base? or an ice pearl mixed in with clear? just curious, chewing on ideas for my 55 burb. sweet truck.

Re: My 56 is on the ground.....
 

Beautiful work even before the great paint job. More pictures please.
