menace121978 · 11-21-2009, 11:42 PM

hey bro! I love the CYBER GREY!! who ya gonna have paint it?? and what drivetrain?

you got me started... i happen to have a 350/350 combo still sittin on the garage floor!!

and yea we still need to hook up. maybe next week after thanksgiving im off thur. and fri. and i should have the motor here by then you could check it out. shoot me your # again too. my phone took a dump!

draggin86 · 11-21-2009, 11:45 PM

as of right now i think im going to put my vortec 350 since its just sitting with a 4l60E car 12 bolt rearend. I am having my buddy Rich Grant paint it for me.. i am going to try and put a 6.2L in my other truck or a duramax that the 350 came out of!

yes dude we need to hook up! my c10 is at the painter so hopefully it will be done in a month or 2 gives me more time to work on my other project! lol

menace121978 · 11-21-2009, 11:58 PM

dang, your not messing around! so Rich is doing all the body work also? and how is he painting it, just in pieces? sorry for a hundred questions bro but my next step is paint and body. not sure if i should put her back together and paint or just do it in pieces starting w/ the cab so i can get it back on the chassis... btw, where's his shop?

joe231 · 11-22-2009, 12:01 AM

I think the cyber is too blue......I went with the Honda color....

draggin86 · 11-22-2009, 12:04 AM

here is another picture of the cyber

baggedcten · 11-22-2009, 03:09 AM

yea another one for cyber!

Rogue_Sentinel · 11-22-2009, 04:38 AM

1st cyber

2nd Dark titanium metallic

85_GMC_Man · 11-22-2009, 04:41 AM

The cyber grey would look awsome. Especially with the wheels. If you don't mind a two tone, I would use the cyber grey from the main body line down and the metallic palladium silver from the body line up and use a bright colored pin stripe to split the two. Maybe a fire engine red or lime green for the pin stripe??? Just my opinion though.

Mr79C10 · 11-22-2009, 08:06 AM

lol,, Just voted for ya.... Looks like your going to go with Cyber Grey. Which looks just BADAZZ!!!!

JohnC · 11-22-2009, 05:42 PM

The Cyber off the Vette is sweet!!!!

draggin86 · 11-23-2009, 12:52 AM

This is the Chrysler color on my 08 Charger with a bright silver on top. Tiny blue pinstripe for seperation.

vtwinsport · 11-23-2009, 09:15 PM

the vette color has more blue than the dodge and I prefer the dodge color with those wheels.

spr85gmc · 11-24-2009, 01:09 AM

Your charger looks sharp with the two tone grey metallic and silver. Still think it would look awsome on a square body too.

spaseghost · 11-24-2009, 02:16 PM

if that cyber gray metallic wasnt on the vette i dont think i would of picked it. i would second vote on the graystone.

BigE77' · 11-24-2009, 08:57 PM

If this helps I just got mine painted a month ago and it is Graphite Grey, pretty close to a couple of those and might give you a good visual....The Cyber looks good and the Dark titanium is a close second

77shortstep · 11-24-2009, 11:51 PM

cyber grey for sure
