Re: 198Plus build

Well it's on now. Finally decided on a color.........Done a test spray on a fender today and loved it. I found this color from a ride on this forum, cal 58 GMC. The color is from a 2001 Plymouth Prowler......... Burnt orange with pearl

Re: 198Plus build

The engine sounds great, really like the exhaust system, but I the Mother's Day Jam was the best.
You guys know how to have a good time, NO DOUBT.

Re: 198Plus build

Little slow at the shop so here's the deal........I've dedicated 3 of my guys at the shop for the next two weeks on my truck and the 69 Firebird Trans Am clone we are doing. Time to get my truck in paint and the 69...........

Now we are doing a final mock up of everything on both vehicles.
