Ready to leave with wrong tires. Went the next day & installed correct wheels & tires. That is my twin,Harold helping out. His truck is a 64 Chevy on this site. He bought his ready to go?

We put the box on & drove it home. Here is the pic. of the 10 yr old BABY at home. Someone asked about a closeup of the paint,so here is a pic. for you,also. FYI, it is the color of the 2010 Mustang? Hope a chevy can run with F--d skin on it? LOL! It has the Boyd Carrington wheels with Kumbo tires. Here is a closeup of the wheels. It is titled,licensed & insured. We have to finish it off next Tuesday. It has to have the inner fender panels, outside dr. handles,rear view mirror & some wiring completed for the power window & dr lock.

What kind of exhaust is that? Looks sort of low in the rear,like it might hit the road?

howard_m18 · 07-06-2010, 10:02 PM

They weren't that low.really. They are 2 1/4 exhaust. That was the way they laid,UNTIL we got the tips & rearranged the length & angle to what you see now. I sent the new pics & they look great. What do you think?

Your truck is looking great! diggin the Coddington rims! Awesome!

detroitc10 · 07-07-2010, 02:05 PM

Looks better, but a bit on the long side, need to be closer to the roll pan.

howard_m18 · 07-07-2010, 06:02 PM

we haven't ajusted them yet. Will send new pic. when done. Howard

Newtz67 · 07-07-2010, 06:24 PM

Wow, that paint looks awesome! Very nice truck!

howard_m18 · 07-07-2010, 06:39 PM

As mentioned before, the paint is the same as a 2010 F--d mustang. I hope a chevy can run ok with a F--d skin on it? We will see! LOL! Yes, I have seen 1 of them on the road,BUT I didn't have this 1 out at that moment. Thanks for the compliments!! Howard

We had a front end alignment & had the guy cut & install the tips correctly! Here is the way they ended up. #1. is the tips installed & #2. looks down from the box so you can see how far from the box they are. They are 2 fingers between the box & the top of the tips. #3. All finished off with a different view. Howard

Well it is that time again! Got ran into last year & awaited to get it redone after coming back from AZ. The woman backed into me at a bank = $1200 damage. Under no fault, each pays their deductable if you want it fixed & of course I want my done. He is repairing as I type & should be done by Monday. He also installed a radio & we have now installed the correct side mirrors. They really look great. Will keep you posted with pics after it gets home!!
