Re: project (sweet pea)
Trust me I would love new wheels....But the money tree is dead...There are some things I have got to handle before New wheels...Maybe next summer......? Right now I am having to much fun driving it....Hell It could have steelies on it...with bald tires lol and I would still roll it.....I try to keep them polished and as clean as I can get them....So they will have to work for now....

Re: project (sweet pea)
I hope your truck gets nominated for TOTM again soon dude. I'd like to see you win it. This is certainly one of the sweetest rides I've looked at on here and I'll never get this far with mine.

Re: project (sweet pea)
That's a sick ride, man. I dig the mods you did to it. Definitely would vote yours over Jason's High Life. I like his wood bed and base and trim color matchup, but this is the best resto-mod I've seen. Really like it. Congrats.

Re: project (sweet pea)
Nice shoes! They look great and really work well with the overall look of the truck. What are the specs of the rims/tires?

You kill the grass as you drive by in that thing. Sucks the green plum out of 'em. The camera's pixels aren't even keeping up with it very well, lol.

Re: project (sweet pea)
oh.......lol I write all over a vehicle when I am doing one....It was millimeters....I like to gauge everything.And go from the widest to the smallest......So I just write down the different sizes....I then try to make every thing even...I shoot for a 1/4 then work from there...some prefer about a 11/32 gap....That day It seems I could only find my metric tape...LOL
