I expect it to be a nice little sleeper when it's done. My progress has been slow, but seeing nice trucks like yours motivates me to get it going.

Thanks guys....Mine looks like a pretty decent sleeper to the untrained eye but the Hedman ceramic coated (silver) long tubes are clearly visible underneath from 10' away and any "sleeper mode" completely disappears once I crank the 454. It also likes gas stations....A LOT!

FYI this was a 3+ year build
