CT-Truckster · 07-03-2005, 04:24 PM

tommy knotts · 07-03-2005, 04:53 PM

bigarmz,i seen your truck today at the car show.elkins is my favorite show.

phantom dually · 07-03-2005, 05:00 PM

Very nice work. When can you start on mine??

**AspecialZ** · 07-03-2005, 06:24 PM

Very nice, I love the smell of fresh paint, Sometime I'm going to have to make a trip to the lower end of the state to meet ya

Looks awsome!

87 Shortwide · 07-03-2005, 06:58 PM

It's beautiful man, simply beautiful! I wish mine would accept black paint...

Izzy · 07-03-2005, 07:57 PM

Damn that looks great.

84stepper2 · 07-03-2005, 08:09 PM

Job well done!! I love the simplicity of the truck. You are one hell of a painter....the one thing that I hate about a new paint job is finding a new freaking scratch or ding on it every once and a while. But that is what you have to expect when using it as a daily driver. Any plans on making that baby fast? Because it sure does look mean.

i'm working on putting in a 99' vortec 350 roller set up and using my existing throttle body injection with it.....if i can get a custom chip dialed in just right, it'll rock

Lizzard27 · 07-03-2005, 10:55 PM

Nice paint dude

86swb · 07-04-2005, 03:12 PM

Man, you did a beautiful job. Love them black trucks. Don't you just love driving down the road and watching them heads turn? Sure you do. That is one heck of a head turner you have there. Good job.

Stingray42 · 07-04-2005, 06:45 PM

wow! nice truck man, I love black....

'84 Rusterado · 07-04-2005, 07:53 PM

trixter99 · 07-05-2005, 12:02 AM

Awsome looking truck, I like the wheel choice.

boxrodz · 07-05-2005, 12:20 AM

As I said before, your truck turned out great. That shiny black makes your tail light lenses old and dull. How did you fair at the show?

BTW, how do you like the peep mirrors?

86 GMG · 07-05-2005, 09:55 AM

yours looks better than mine. just playin but really :hit2:

CHEVYE · 07-05-2005, 10:06 AM

sweet!

**N2TRUX** · 07-05-2005, 10:31 AM

That turned out really nice. You gotta be proud that all your hard work paid off....

bigarmzz · 07-05-2005, 10:48 AM

thanks guys....i'm working on lowering the rear of it this week another 2" by taking out the overload springs from the rear....should get me close...i'll take pics of it when i do it later this week...

i like the peep mirrors, there not that practical...but they give it a nostalgic older feel, along with the rims, they work kinda nice...

i do with thought that i would have gotten the 4" ones....the ones i have on there now are the 3" ers

this week i gotta also get my 2.5" dual flowmaster exhaust on

i'm gettin (eventually) new lenses for the rear, and clear ones for the parks (thanks to aspecialZ) when i finally get the $$$ saved up....i just put all new headlights in it yesterday, that was over $40 for all four of them
