Hello guys,

Been a member for a while but rarely post. I do love reading all of your posts and have gotten tons of useful information from this forum. I know you guys love pics so here are a few of my 86 finally done at the body shop. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics. :metal:

Now that it's painted I'm thinking I may need to go a tad lower. Let me know what you all think.

That's awesome! Hopefully my truck looks that nice one of these days. lol.

I'd personally keep it at the height it's at now. But that's just my opinion ;)

Thanks, just keep at it and it will. Believe me I almost gave up a few times on mine. It's got a 2.5\4 Drop at the moment.

I LOVE YOUR TRUCK , but Ithink its begging to be a little closer to the ground. ONLY IMO. CONGRATS

Only way I'd consider dropping it more personally is if it were to be on air bags - otherwise you'll catch hell with speed bumps & entrance ramps most of the time... Truck looks great though man - cool color!!!

Beautiful paint work. I can't wait until mine escapes paint prison. It would be great to see some additional pictures of yours without the shadows.

WOW! That looks awesome. It turned out really slick. I feel it needs to be lowered just a bit more to close the gap. You have a nice tire/wheel size working, but the gap makes them look small.

You also need to paint the drums satin black when you have a chance. You can do that before you drop it off at my place...;)

Great color man! I like it a lot! I'm also for lowering it a bit to close the gap up.

Love the color. I think it could go a little lower, too. Either way, it looks great!
