Re: Finally! My Cheyenne is back on the road.
I dont know how well I like that color combo . Black on red ?

Ken , the truck has never looked better . I wish my black paint was that slick . I am afraid to do anything to mine because it is original but it doesnt even come close to comparing with a nice base/clear job .
Frank

And I still want those Vintecs .

Stunning, absolutely beautiful in every way!

Worthy of a centerfold special in any car/truck magazine, or playboy for that matter!

Wow...just wow!

Truck looks great Ken...always has. Glad to see you driving it again.

Hopefully it won't be down long for the suspension upgrade.

Hey Jared,
Look at Kens "What did you get done " thread from this weekend . It will answer one of your questions . That truck is going to get even better . Didnt think it was possible , but it appears as though it is .
