WAY nice!!! the black/orange combo kinda gives it the "Harley" look, is that what you guys were going for? That car is way too nice to have that engine though, gotta clean it up a little. Very sweet car!

damn eric, the truck looks even nicer than I had pictured.....a set of bullit style wheels would look real good on it....and I agree, you guys should get a 454 for it and give it some real muscle to compliment the good looks of it

Hey now... the lil 327 is a decent engine, and it winds to the moon if it is built right. The truck is Waaaaaaaaaaay better looking two tone. I can't wait to see what wheels you put on it. I am partial to the chevy rallys however, 15's won't do. I would do 18 x 9 chevy rallys in the front and 20x10 chevy rallys in the back with a decent drop and a slight rake to it. Either way nice truck.
