Yes both of those would look good

Those are my thoughts too

I like it too but there are some guys around town that don't think so, I like it because it's an original color and not many guys keep them like that, a lot of people seem to shy away from the "seafoam" but I think they look good with it.

**67cheby** · 06-15-2012, 11:53 AM

i like it !

El Campo · 06-15-2012, 12:14 PM

I thought about painting mine that color but would like to see how it looks on yours first!!!!

LOL I'm right there with you!

widewhite70 · 06-16-2012, 09:35 AM

And I'm up for suggestions and opinions if anyone wants to throw anything out there!

cAlvis165 · 06-16-2012, 12:19 PM

I had to google the Audi teak, but wow! That would look great on this truck. A cream, or off white top ( or even middle) would lend itself to the classic feel you're looking for.

tattooed_hillbilly · 06-17-2012, 05:08 AM

truck looks sick bro! been watching this build for a while and just realized you dont live to far from me. was that the masllion car show in the pics?

widewhite70 · 06-24-2012, 10:42 PM

Well hopefully my new differential housing will show up tomorrow and we'll be able to get my 3.73's installed, the stock rear gear I had was a 2.59! lol. It's been a slow process waiting on all of this so thats why I haven't had any new action here lately. Goodguys Columbus will be here the weekend of July 6th so I'm hoping everything goes good to get it there and autocross it.

widewhite70 · 07-05-2012, 09:27 PM

Rear diff work

widewhite70 · 07-05-2012, 09:22 PM

Well we just got our power back on from the big storm last Friday, We did get the 3.73's installed over the weekend and what a difference it made!

widewhite70 · 07-08-2012, 06:54 PM

Had the truck at the Columbus goodguys this weekend, we had a good time. Ran the truck on the autocross track a few times and it's got me hooked now, it was the first time I'd ever done it and I didn't want to leave the track. I also met Rob from from No Limit Engineering, super nice guy and he knows his stuff!

In the pits

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 07-11-2012, 08:48 PM

Can you give me the specs on the wheels and a nice clear frontal shot of the wheels.. I think I may have decided on wheels finally...

Yes I can but just keep in mind that my wheel specs are for the Corvette suspension under my truck so the back spacing might not apply to yours. But my rears are 18x12 with a 7" back space and the fronts are 18x9 with a 5" back space. As far as pics go I'll get some tomorrow when I get back to the garage after work, what all angles would you like to see?
