I bought this 2 weeks before x-mas last year. I just had It towed to work to bend up some 3" exhaust. Its going back home today for final assembly. Here is a before pic also.

Nice work! What size engine? Looks way better now.

468 with a big muther thumper cam , 10 to 1 comp, stainless valves, roller rockers, forged crank and rods all balanced going to a 3400 stall. Not sure what gear to use but I am only looking to get spg's (smiles per gallon.) My work commute is only 30 miles round trip so not to bad.

That is really nice. I love these trucks all black. Are you leaving it all black or roof/side different color? Any trim going back on?

Great looking truck.

I guess it did look black in the first photos but I can see the green in this one. Still it is very nice. Great work.

I also thought about black but it is really emerald metallic green from a 95 volvo

A new look is some wheels, or a drop, maybe paint the top a different color... what you did was a complete makeover! Very nice, love the color. I wish people did more classics in green.

Nice very nice, luv the color

ksshane · 08-13-2013, 03:37 PM

really dig the color choice, and the wheels.

If it was mine. I would drop it a little, and finish putting it back together. Then call it a day. Looks great.

I had a real hard time picking the color. I had the Volvo pull into our parking lot and I looked out and said that's the color. I took the vin and called Volvo for the color code. I then called the paint shop and had them mix it the same day.
