What do you think of the grabber blue on the mustangs?

TyKby2 · 04-18-2010, 09:39 PM

it looks good on the stangs but i don't think it would look that good on my truck

TyKby2 · 11-17-2010, 03:33 AM

Sorry i haven't been on in a while, but I've done a little work on the mistress. I've lowered the front and stole some rallies off a camaro project, I also put a 81-87 style front bumper on it. It is all olive green now but haven't takin any pics of it.

GMC Guy · 11-17-2010, 06:37 AM

did you have to use adapters for those wheels?

TyKby2 · 11-17-2010, 01:42 PM

yeah because of them being only 5x4.75, they did not have two patterns on them. they wont be on there for to much longer because i am getting tires for my 18's this week possibly today.

timjt · 11-17-2010, 01:54 PM

Nice green!
I know you don't want to do two colors but we want to do our a dark green with a pearl top

TyKby2 · 11-17-2010, 02:35 PM

i'm fine w/ the roof being dif, i just don't really want to have the very bottom dif. or the middle dif. that being said those would look great, pearl would really compliment the dark green.

TyKby2 · 11-18-2010, 01:01 PM

i got my tires yesterday and tested on eon the truck.

baclay9 · 11-18-2010, 01:57 PM

Just a tip if you decide to go with the brandywine candy paint. If you spray it over a black base instead of silver like the car you pictured it looks amazing. It will be darker were sun isn't directly hitting it and looks awesome under streetlights at night. Just something to think about. Great start by the way.

TyKby2 · 11-18-2010, 02:31 PM

thanks i will take that into consideration, the truck will probably have a black sealer on it anyways but i'll probably do some test panels on some sheet metal we have at the house before i do the truck itself. oh yeah, I have a v8 to go in her now i just have build it, it's just a block.

Coreyterry · 11-18-2010, 05:49 PM

may i ask what type of rims are those. ive seen them but i cant seem to find the name of them. want a set for my 80. thanks

TyKby2 · 11-18-2010, 08:13 PM

they r Boss 338's 18x8 front and 18x9.5 rear, but word off warning if you don't have the 1" rotors on the front they wont fit.

Coreyterry · 11-18-2010, 09:27 PM

thanks and will look into the rotor situation.

how did you setup your rotors?

TyKby2 · 11-18-2010, 10:19 PM

I have the bigger brakes, and I'm just gonna use a 1" thick bolt on spacer to make them work

Coreyterry · 11-18-2010, 10:41 PM

ohh alright thanks. were are you gonna get your spacers?

if i use spacers would i beable to go with stock brakes?

nice ride by the way haha. sorry to ask so many questions on your build page.

TheWhiteElephant · 11-18-2010, 10:49 PM

Truck looks great. Any shots of the entire truck with the wheels on? I used that Olive Drab on my old Blazer. I love it, especially with dark wheels...

thanks, and not yet until I get my spacers. that blazer is sweet btw

TyKby2 · 11-21-2010, 10:26 PM

Put my new gas tank on yesterday, so now it doesn't leak. My spacers should be here tomorrow, so I might have my wheels mounted on it after work.

TyKby2 · 11-23-2010, 03:30 PM

I have pics of her w/ the new shoes

Adams74Chevy · 11-23-2010, 03:48 PM

I love those wheels on a lot of vehicles and of course they look good on your truck. Nice ride.

TyKby2 · 11-23-2010, 07:56 PM

Thanks, i hope to be building a V8 for it in a few months

TheWhiteElephant · 11-24-2010, 01:28 AM

Man that truck looks sweeet!

By the way, when you replaced your tank, did you use the fuel sender removal tool or just a screw driver? I'm going to remove my fuel tank to flush it and recall the last time I did that to my K5, I had a tough time putting the sending unit back on. I just used a flat head screw driver.

timjt · 11-24-2010, 09:35 AM

Looks great!
