Nice job! What size pipe did you use to French in the turn signals? I really like the look!

Jason 56 · 04-05-2020, 10:28 AM

Great progress! Really like the color. You’re getting close!

Got the rear bumper ready for chrome, have to thank my friend Tony for all his help!. Back of fenders Raptor lined and painted.

Running a 275 on the front and a 345 rear

SCHRUMGMC · 07-15-2020, 10:35 AM

Wow what an amazing and beautiful truck

I wish my truck was close to being done

dsraven · 07-15-2020, 03:30 PM

275 and 375 what? aspect ratio and wheel size?
are you a diy'er or a shop doing a project for someone? seems like a lot of projects in the back ground. nice. haven't had time to check out the whole build thread, maybe in the next week or 2 I will have time. I like the color.

DSRAVEN...18x9 front 19x12 rear wheels. I believe 30 ratio. I own a commercial cabinet shop, I put a lift in the end of my building and work there evenings and weekends. I started this build and bought a 67 camaro to drive while finishing so I had something to go to shows with. It was an older resto and laquer cracked and ended up redoing it and have now been back to the truck. Hope to have it mostly done by Nov. as brother already paid for Scottsdale Goodguys entry LOL. Thanks for the compliment on the color!

It all looks fantastic. I like the shorty rear bumper...very clean truck.
