Im looking to hae it painted by the end of the month! will update with more pics soon!

[BHB]

Lookin' good.
See what happens when you follow trends? You constantly re-do your stuff and spend lots of money doing it.

[91blkstpsd]

Hey bftiedt- Did you happen to go to tech school in Shelbyville, TN? There was a guy there that had a hoe with the same paint job and I think they did it in class.

[bftiedt]

nope i sure didnt lol everything i have learned has all been on my own! I think some of the best teachings comes from trial and error!

[bftiedt]

Lookin' good.
See what happens when you follow trends? You constantly re-do your stuff and spend lots of money doing it.

Thanks for the comments guys! I was also thinking about putting the running boards back on and paint them to match the truck to make the truck look lower to the ground.. what do you guys think?

[Bagged 04]

Leave them off imo.

[gooberchevy]

Running boards = fail. And get to shavin the rest of that sh!t! Should be pretty sweet when it gets finished up.

[TheMaroonBaboon]

[YUKNTUKN22S]

i was actually talkin ab that yesterday with someone ... i have never been , what are the dates? i plan on going , what ab you?
Hell yeah I will be there, May23rd,24th,and 25th. I will more than likely go to the cruise on friday night, Then go up there Sat. morning. The father in law only lives 10 min from the fairgrounds:rocking: So I will trailer to lebanon and then ride out there friday night. I will be talking to about exhaust hopefully next week though if thats cool. I dont think I would last long crusing with open headers and the procharger screaming.:aniteef:

EDIT: I kept the supercharger by the way.

[gooberchevy]

Looking much better after wet sanding and a nice buff job.

Props for all the hate you went through, and doing most of your own work.

Let's just hope that the suspension holds up and has no issues.

[bftiedt]

the air pressure, the gun distance, etc all will make changes to a metallic and make them seem darker/lighter. or streaked if your overlap isnt right.

Turned out real nice, Whats wrong with the trans?


yeah it turned out pretty nice there are a few places in it that im not happy with ..the pass. side quarter has a few waves in it and so does the pass. front door but hey its a daily driver so it will do for now.. as far as the trans goes , i was coming back from springfeild fri afternoon when it went clunk! and then i had no second gear.. i get to the shop and go to back up and no reverse.. so we took it out and are rebuilding it.. its got 205,000 miles on it so its prolly due anyways

[YUKNTUKN22S]

So are you running yet?

[bftiedt]
