Thanks, hopefully in the next month I can get back to working on it.

Thanks for the kind words, you have a beautiful truck as well. Just saw a picture of it in a Two Tone paint thread.

Yeah your build thread is one of them that inspired me to finally pull the trigger on the kit.

Sweet. I like the rake it gives it with the extreme front drop member.

I'm going to eventually run the Touring Dropmember with it. Won't be quite as low as the extreme but will be close. From what I understand it doesn't move the Engine up like the Extreme does, which is what I need for clearance for my BBC/TH400 combo.

Bennett68C10 · 01-30-2013, 11:46 PM

Well if any of you guys follow the for sale section then you know I have sold the Vintecs to Hart_Rod. I think Rob is cornering the market on the Soft Lip Vintec dish now that he has two sets

thanks again Rob. I don't know what it was since the Vintecs look awesome on everything and I have always loved the way they looked but I felt they weren't for me. At first i tried to tell myself that they were too nice and shiney and maybe i should go with a grey centered wheel. But that wasnt it, as polished billet wheels have always been my favorite. So for about two months I struggled with the idea of selling them. I finally decided post them up forsale thinking they probably wouldn't sell and they did in 1 day.

So the wheels were shipped off to Rob in Florida and I started the search for new wheels. This is a very extensive process especially with all the different designs from the all the billet wheel manufactures. I decided to go with a set of Intro's that I love the design of and fit my style better. I chose the Intro Retros in 20x8.5 with 5.25" bs and 20x10 with 5" bs. Now I have to wait the agonizing 6 weeks or longer for my new wheels to come in. I want to thank Travis at AZProPerformance and a board vendor on here for great customer service. Hopefully I don't go nuts in the head again when I receive these and decide to sell them too

You'd expect more from a guy that's been a member since 2006.

I love the Vintecs and the Retro's are one of my favorites. If you get tired of them, shoot me a pm!

I liked the Vintecs but I like the Intros too. Either would have looked great.

Sorry i dropped the ball

The Retros are one of my favorite designs by Intro. I don't think my wife would understand if I sold these too. Maybe in a couple of years

I figured you would like them since it was your truck I kept looking at when making a decision. We need to see more pics of Lucy or maybe a build thread.

I'm thinking Rob uses that burb like we would use a storage cabinet.

When are you expecting the PB stuff to show up?

I'm curious, what does the "G4L" stand for?

Lot's of questions today.
