Re: 68 S/C update.....

This is an amazing truck, I've been jealously kreeping for a while.

Please leave the paint as is, there is no need to disturb its natural awsomeness

Re: 68 S/C update.....

I like it better with the gold below, but either way is good. White will show the rubber flecks more though

Re: 68 S/C update.....

Re: 68 S/C update.....

I like it as is. But if you ever repaint the truck, then maybe add the white below.?

Re: 68 S/C update.....

You guys have talked me out of painting below the trim......at least for right now, . Here's a video test drive I made when I was playing around with my cell phone video recorder.....cut-outs where open..... Turn your volume all the way up and that will give you a better representation of how loud it really is.....................

Our local track is closed for new management, so not yet. Also, I've been working on my new "shed" so that's taken up time and $$$$. I'm getting close to having it done (at least the exterior). I moved my son's truck in there today. I'm thinking of taking the 68 to the Goodguys show in Memphis. If I can get it dyno tuned before I go, I may run it down the track....
