Lil' Red moving to her new home, the GatorHyde Shop
Well today was a rare day...Lil Red outside and moving to her new home at the GatorHyde shop for the completion of the interior and the aligning of all the fenders, hood, doors, well the rest. Seats to go in, trans linkage hook up, get her road worthy. P door is off because I still need to finish my electric one piece window install!!! It was a nice sunny day so we took some pics.

Re: Lil' Red moving to her new home, the GatorHyde Shop
Tooo Sweet, I'd post a picture of my wife next to our truck but my feelers would probably get hurt cause no one would ask for bikini shots.

Re: Lil' Red moving to her new home, the GatorHyde Shop
Thank you everyone! Questions: Radiator brackets are stock 4 cores painted Rustoleum Hammered silver as are all the original "black" parts and the frame. Front drop is ECE 2.5" drop spindles and 2" Ground Force drop springs. Rear is ECE 4" drop springs. I may want to change out for some 6" drop springs for the rear as she is on a pretty good rake right now. Paint is Corvette Torch Red, pretty orangey red but I like it.
Here is a pic of the undercariage front and rear: Thanks for letting me show her off a bit...I'm getting close and all fired up to get back to work on her with the warmer weather almost here! The interior, sound sys, and custom fiberglass speaker housings is another labor of love but I will wait until the leather seats are in to post the pics. Bikini pics....I think she might just do that for me! If she wants to drive it...bargaining power!!! Wife loves the truck! I wanted it Hugger Orange, she wanted it Red...so we settled on Torch Red which is an orangey red. She'll just want to know what color bikini? LOL!

Re: Lil' Red moving to her new home, the GatorHyde Shop
I'm jealous Alex!!! She looks awesome!! I found a guy that is going to do the hail ding work on my cab for me. I sold him my TIG and made him a pretty good deal, so he offered to help me out on the cab. Wow, I might have paint this year!!!!!
That CNC plasma table is almost ready to start cutting stuff, so once that hing is done, it's back to the hot rod truck for me! Lil' Red is looking mighty fine my friend

Re: Lil' Red moving to her new home, the GatorHyde Shop
You guys are AWESOME!!! Thanks for ALL of your KIND words!!! This truck means a lot to me and with the weather turning warmer...I am ready to work on her again. I will post pics as the progress continues. I had her running at the GatorHyde Shop yesterday, which brought all the neighbors over, she's still only wearing straight headers...they liked Lil' Red too!
Larry I still have your door holder...I will have it back to you SOON!!!! Gonna work on the windows this weekend!!! Maybe stop by the GH shop if you can??? Bob, still want to buy the Camaro brackets from you so I can install disc rear brakes on Lil' Red, she told me she wants em', LOL!. Alex
