Slam that is F@#kin' awsome lookin' I love the way it looks so far. Just how low off the ground r u in the pic? If you like the way it sounds with open headers then here is a link to checkout. http://www.quicktimeperformance.com/...atalog_gmt.htm go down to Quick Time Electric Cutout and Flowtech Cutout 3" Package. This will allow you to go open headers at a flip of a switch. It's something that I plan on doin' it myself. Well nice work so far keep it up.

I know the feeling! I just broke-in my fresh 350 about a month ago with open headers...talk about LOUD! Nothing compares to the exhaust pulses pounding against the ground and shakin n' rattlin' everything within sight! Luckily for me nobody called the cops! Congrats on the milestone in your trucks progress, can't wait to see her all finished and dialed in!

Damn....that's going to be sweet!!!
Nothing like firing up a fresh vehicle for the first time. Always makes me a little nervous but it sure is exciting! Looks like it's going to sit really mean!

Just curious--how do you get it in and out of the driveway without tearing something up?

Smitty62: The truck has air bag suspension. In the pictures, the bags are completely deflated. When I drive the truck, I'll just raise it up by adding air to the bags.

Great look so far. I like the firewall. I've done the same filling in the factory holes but have much further to go than you. Good work!
