truck is almost done

new cam was put in along with new lifters
body work was done including it being completely repainted(not the best paint job, but tons better than before)
side mirrors and emblems shaved
rollpan welded in and painted
and some other stuff

no more digi cam but my phone takes real good pics, but i gotta wait till i'm at home to put them on the computer.

drove it a little bit yesterday(no insurance) but didnt get on it much cause the new cam only has like 60 miles on it.....
comp 270H cam
