Lookin' good Randy!. I see you have a 5 lug front end. Is it a kit or did you do a later model swap?

Randy ; That really coming along I'll send you a bigger whip maybe Cathy will work a little faster and you can have it running in a couple of weeks .
I know you can't wait to do a paint job on it.

Your gonna beat me - I should have mine back from getting rust repairs done by a buddy shortly, then I get to learn the finer points of sanding and painting. And to think last October it was just going to be a quick engine swap - boy did that change!

The colors are white and teal, not sure if flames or some other wide graphic scheme. He has posted previously a pic of his bench seat and the colors are the same. I toke another pic of the seat last night maybe he'll post it again to update. I have even learned to mix body filler and am trying my hand at spreading it as well. I even was beating out dents yesterday, had to give Randy a break from the whip ya know

That looks sweet Randy!
I think this is the first time I've laid eyes on your truck...reminds me alot of mine when I first got it, like a newborn from the womb, all covered in primer and dust from sanding. Mine also had the huge jacked up rear LoL.
