I gotta tell ya, I'm really loving those mag wheels. Old school and very cool. You planning on keeping them or replacing them with something more modern?

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)

Hey guys! I'm still hanging around..... I got tons of progress to report! And pics.... Been hitting the interior this last week. All the NOS parts I modified are gunna have some guys tripping out! Lol pics to come soon. Interior dash, door panels, and cab wall are getting covered in leather..... Should be done by next week. Body panels, cab, front clip, and bed are getting aligned and squared up in the morning. Then Monday morning the paint is getting sprayed and then NO MORE WAITING ON THE PAINTER! no lol on that one. More like a thank God! Everythings here and ready to install! It's on guys!

Btw... I been looking into KORE3 ZO6 BIG BRAKES for the front and rear along with coilover/r&p setup. We'll see how she goes together and if I have time to research, purchase, and install them by my deadline of December1st!

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Man, You have some awesome stuff going on there! I have one complaint.... for how many NOS parts, factory buckets would just complete it! Those seats just aren't doing it for me.

You need these!!
