Show and tell
It's a nice day outside, I'm not working, and I had some free time, so I finally washed the truck and took it out for a little show/tell. First pics I've taken with the new wheels. Some people may not like them as much (neither did I at first) but they've grown on me already and they're 1000x easier to work with than the old slot mags.
These are the only pics that I could get without tiny-puppy licking me to death while I held the camera. For some reason the dog just HAS to be the center of attention... VVV Tiny-puppy (Shelby) VVV

Re: Show and tell
Looks Good. I like the rims, look good. I need to get some new rims for mine. I remember seeing your truck in Fresno. Nice, clean and LOUD!

Re: Show and tell
Not bad on the wheels. Would look even better if you would convert over to a pre 80 nose, the design seems to suggest an earlier truck. just my 2 cents. Jay

Re: Show and tell
I thought about that after I posted. It was parked and but the stereo was sweet! I told my buddy while we were looking at your truck that it looked familiar. Had to show him your thread and impressed.

Re: Show and tell
for the exhaust shop, Mark at Marco Muffler down the street from me does awesome work. he does mostly custom stuff and has done at least 10 different setups for different rides i've had. Quality work for sure, a great guy to deal with, and you'll get to see his '70 c10 that is SICK!!

Re: Show and tell
Looks great. Good job.
I forgot to ask you earlier when I saw them but who makes the kick panels you used?

Re: Show and tell
I like the wheels. What size did you go with, and what size tires? Also, what drop is on that truck?

Re: Show and tell
Autorama is first weekend in February I believe. I'm waiting to hear if I'm going to be showing with Arc Audio again this year. If I do I'll probably be parked outside, which is nice because I can give demos easier that way. Downside is the weather was crappy this last year...
The kick panels are custom made as are the lower door panels.
