Clayton, my plan for now is to get some Wheel Vintique Vette rallies. 15x10 295/50's in the back and 15x8's and not sure about size of tires yet for the front. I have a brand new set of Firestone FireHawk Indy 500 white lettered tires that are the 295/50's and they are on a set of AR wheels. I am going to see if I can still find two smaller tires for the front since they quit making this tire in white letters. Hopefully someone has a set somewhere on a shelf other wise I may have to buy another complete set. I like my white letters. This is the plan for now. Maybe down the road I might by a nice set of shiny rims.

Today he got the cab all masked off and got some color and clear on it. I didn't take any pics of the color until tomorrow. The lights in the paint booth just put too much glare on it for good pics. Looks pretty slick from what I seen of it right before quitting time. I am thinking tomorrow he might shoot the front side of the bed and inside of the new doors so we can go ahead and hang the doors. He still has to paint the glovebox door, ashtray door, and the metal plate that goes under the steering column. They will be the steel gray.

After seeing the Indigo and the steel gray next to each other I almost told him to paint the bottom of the truck steel gray but think I will stick with the silver. They do look really good together though. I think I am really going to like this when the truck gets totally finished. All I have to do now is find the right shade of bucket seats, dash and door panels. Going to start hitting the scrap yards pretty hard looking for burbs and blazers for the lighter gray color.

I have been pretty anal with myself over these colors so that they all flow together. I am sure it will be great when done. I am also looking for a set of aluminum heads for the 355 that is going in it. I think I am going to paint the engine Indigo with aluminum heads or I am going to put iron heads on and paint all blue with painted silver intake and black valve covers, air breather with silver script letters. One thing at a time though. It gets overwhelming if I try to think about it all at once.
