Slam that is F@#kin' awsome lookin' I love the way it looks so far. Just how low off the ground r u in the pic? If you like the way it sounds with open headers then here is a link to checkout. http://www.quicktimeperformance.com/...atalog_gmt.htm go down to Quick Time Electric Cutout and Flowtech Cutout 3" Package. This will allow you to go open headers at a flip of a switch. It's something that I plan on doin' it myself. Well nice work so far keep it up.

Damn....that's going to be sweet!!!
Nothing like firing up a fresh vehicle for the first time. Always makes me a little nervous but it sure is exciting! Looks like it's going to sit really mean!

Just curious--how do you get it in and out of the driveway without tearing something up?

Smitty62: The truck has air bag suspension. In the pictures, the bags are completely deflated. When I drive the truck, I'll just raise it up by adding air to the bags.

Great look so far. I like the firewall. I've done the same filling in the factory holes but have much further to go than you. Good work!
