Back from paint yet? We need a video of this beast shredding the tires! :)

Oh, yeah! I got it back last month. Been so busy it took me a while to put it back together. In fact, my FIL just took it home last night. He is ecstatic with the result and a little scared to drive it. It turned out nice! Won’t have any burnout videos anytime soon now that he has it back for the summer. The truck lives with me in the winter when the in-laws go back to Florida.

After: The paint is the OEM color but I'll tell you this. I will NEVER use bumper covers EVER again! As soon as there is a good reason these are getting taken off and just get some painted bumpers painted up for it. Bumper covers suck!

And a couple mock up pictures of what it will look like with 454SS wheels. I found a great deal on 3 wheels so I am on the lookout for one more. Until then FIL is running the factory wheels, which look really out of place with the new sporty paint job. The tires that are on the 454SS wheels are wrong. They are like 295 something….I’ll get the tire size that was on the 454SS trucks. I think they were 255/60R15’s.
