Thanks. I've thought about it, but don't really know yet. Would love to go, but don't know if I could trust this truck making it all the way up there, and it damn sure won't be trailered. Maybe once I get a little more familiar with it and see how it acts, I might feel confident in it making the haul.

No spray can. Using one of my DeVilbis guns. When I wake up tomorrow I'll get you the exact name. At work right now so I can't.

Thanks! Don't really know if it's factory, looks to be, from the color of the firewall. Will be doing a complete color change in the near future.

Re: Update on my 68...
Well, finally received my custom harness today for the LS swap. I have taken out the big block and turbo 400 and will be putting the H/C LS1 out of my 05 in the 68 along with a 4L80E trans with a 3600 converter. About the paint!....it's really not as clean as it looks in pics, it deffinately has it's flaws! See, I design vehicles on the side, and this truck will be a reflection of what I do as a passion. While the blue does look nice on it, it's just not what I have in my head! It will stay this color for a while. Plan is to get the motor in, get the bugs worked out, build the turbo kit for it, and hopefully this time next year, I will be tearing it down for paint.

Re: Update on my 68...
you got jacked up pretty bad lol
Also got in an argument with the wire wheel on the grinder. If you think I look bad, you should see the grinder! (not even a damn scratch on it) [/QUOTE]

Yes, yes I did! Will for sure keep this updated. Truck should be coming along pretty quick now. My whole hold up was the wiring harness, so things should start rolling.
