Well got it back had to leave my last day burnout leaving school it was a pretty good one i think i had every person out there looking because i was running straight headers lol it feels so good to have something that pretty fast again that ram just doesnt do it

[allen123]

Well heres some updates
Heres a pic from the school parking lot on the last day of school

Me and my friends trucks at a local cruise last thursday

New taillight lenses and head unit i got from a garage sale he said its pretty much brand new was asking $80 got it down to $40


New brake and reverse lenses

Bedside I was working on at vo tech ( not finshed but better)


I just like this sticker lol

Blacked out parklights

Couldnt find amber bulbs so i just painted mine with fingernail polish

[Hart_Rod]

Pep Boys and autozone have nice LED bulbs cheap. You can also buy these balloon like slip on covers that go over you're regular bulbs. I would go LED, but that's just me. You can't ever have bright enough brake lights..........

Looking good man. Keep up the good work.

[allen123]

do you have to change the socket thing to convert it to LED? or does it plug into the original socket

They go in the original socket (1147??). You may also have to change your flasher relay.

, No worries. I'm not here to get points, just here to help out when I can, . Take care and post pictures when you get the bulbs in. If you can't find any, let me know, I think they are about $8-10 a piece here. I could pick them up and ship them to you.

[allen123]

alright man thanks!

[oldblue1968chevy]

Had to go all the way back to the first page to figure out wtf you were talking about

[wancosc356]

Subscribed man! Nice truck and nice progress on the truck. Im feelin the flat black. Thats just my two cents though. And as far as painting the truck, black on black is always nice. You can never go wrong that way. How did u black out ur running and signal lights?

[allen123]

thanks man
I just did light coats of krylon plastic paint. I just kinda dusted it until it looked dark enough suprisingly you can still see light through them when their on

[wancosc356]

Oh ok. Thats what I was thinking. Just wasnt sure. I might go LED and then Im sure they will still be visible. Cool. Thanks for the info.

[allen123]

Oh yeah heres some updates
I went crazy the day before the oklahoma board meet and i did all this in one day. I sanded the entire truck and painted it and redid my exhaust from the headers back, did straight pipes that exit in front of the rear tires
heres some pics from the meet(the other 2 trucks are my buddies and their the ones who made it possible for me to finish my truck in one day)

[wancosc356]

Looks clean man. I say stay flat black. Get a bumper sticker that says "I Like Mine With No Shine!"

[allen123]

lol i like that, yeah i think im gonna leave it like that for a while. Im gonna try to get all my motor and suspension work done next, notsure if i wanna bag it or do a 4/6 static drop.

Something else is taking all my money right now. I am completly redoing my bike, good thing i got hook ups or i would be spending WAY more, revalving my suspenion($600) getting all white plastics and custom graphics(almost $300) and anodizing my forks black($60). Its gonna look like a completly differant bike. I should be getting it back next week.

Here's a before shot(not a very good shot though)

haha. Im in the same position as you. Gotta get the motor and suspension done first. And Im not sure if I wanna run bags or a 4/6 static drop too. Decisions decisions.

Nice bike man. Im sure it will look good with the black anodizing. Good luck with the bike build and post pics when u get it back.

[allen123]

thanks man will do
and yeah its a hard decision lol might end up being around the same price cause the 4/6 drops i've seen are like $1000+

[wancosc356]

I hear ya. But I think you could accomplish a 4/6 for much less than that. Then again, it depends on how you wanna do it and who u get it from. Anyways, let me know what you decide.

BTW: How do u give rep points?
