Really nice job, looks fantastic.

ChuckDriver · 10-01-2010, 05:58 AM

Slick!!

Woodbutcher · 10-08-2010, 01:05 AM

Enjoying your build thread/ Keep posting lots of pics! I particularily like the wood you chose for the bed - different, distinctive and classy.

Did you use a base/clear paint?? Looks sharp.

CAL 58 GMC · 10-08-2010, 04:02 PM

Your truck is coming along nicely! I love the Ram Jet and your dash turned out killer man!

blindman · 10-13-2010, 07:41 PM

hotrod1 · 10-13-2010, 07:43 PM

WOW! That bed is one beautiful, shinny, reflective piece.

Do you already have something picked out? Pretty near anything is going to look great against that paint, but the style should go with the theme of the interior and underhood (of course you already know this)

I like these on a truck with paint like yours and they come in 15 and 17" sizes

hotrod1 · 10-24-2010, 01:06 AM

Looks Great. What size tires and rims are on that now? What is the measurement from the bottom of the cab to the ground?

blindman · 10-24-2010, 06:53 PM

235/75r15 roughly 6.1/2 inchs at lowest

hotrod1 · 10-24-2010, 08:09 PM

Thank You. That helps a lot.

Looks like someone is headed for the finish line. Man everything looks great.

hotrod1 · 11-05-2010, 06:13 PM

You are going way too fast. I feel like a slow poke.

Where did you get the side speaker cover things?

i made them out of plywood and had fiberglassed and sanded then covered ill take better pics soon been really busy

candyx · 11-12-2010, 09:02 PM

Blindman did you get to take your truck out for a ride yet? I'm interested in your opinion on your No Limit IFS and how it operates and how the handling feels.More photos would be nice when you have the time as well,they really help us who are about to tackle the same work.

hotrod1 · 11-12-2010, 09:48 PM

I am curious to see how his handles as well. I do know that Rob of No-Limit wins all the autocross competitions that he enters. He seems to know his stuff. I have started a nolimit build myself.

blindman · 12-17-2010, 07:31 PM

i love it !!!!
