I want 8 or 10" rally's but the wife likes the wheel/tire combo thats on it now. Those rims really did clean up well, of course it only took about 2hrs per wheel to buff them out LOL.

I'm beat, this thing has drained every ounce of energy I have, but its well worth it. I had been planning this for months, so I had all the parts I needed when I started on it. All it needed was MY time. To me, its all just nuts and bolts really which I deal with on a daily basis. Makes it easier to have all the tools and know exactly what you'll need to tackle the job.

My wife (its going to be her truck) has yet to see this truck, only bits and peices via the pics on the website so tomorrow should be a blast... Thats when I'll be back home.

I'll tell ya'll something though, I'm friggen paraniod now! LOL I stopped in to autozone to pick up some megguiars (spelling?) stuff and I kept looking outside to make sure nobody parked next to me or was messing with it. LOL This is going to be tough!

The truck really looks great. I like the red and white. Maybe I will see it up close this Fall in KC.

That first nick or door ding will make you want to shoot somebody. Just try to park it away from everybody and maybe it won't be anytime soon. If it wasn't so far, you and your wife should drive it to the Chevy/GMC Nationals in Pigeon Forge this coming weekend and show it off! Long road trip with a new truck though.
Enjoy it and post some new pictures when you get finished with it.
