Truck looks great, I like the light green and white idea.

Yes both of those would look good

I like it too but there are some guys around town that don't think so, I like it because it's an original color and not many guys keep them like that, a lot of people seem to shy away from the "seafoam" but I think they look good with it.

Re: Project: "just a little rust repair, turned LS2 swap"

I had to google the Audi teak, but wow! That would look great on this truck. A cream, or off white top ( or even middle) would lend itself to the classic feel you're looking for.

Re: Project: "just a little rust repair, turned LS2 swap"

Well hopefully my new differential housing will show up tomorrow and we'll be able to get my 3.73's installed, the stock rear gear I had was a 2.59! lol. It's been a slow process waiting on all of this so thats why I haven't had any new action here lately. Goodguys Columbus will be here the weekend of July 6th so I'm hoping everything goes good to get it there and autocross it.

Re: Project: "just a little rust repair, turned LS2 swap"

Had the truck at the Columbus goodguys this weekend, we had a good time. Ran the truck on the autocross track a few times and it's got me hooked now, it was the first time I'd ever done it and I didn't want to leave the track. I also met Rob from from No Limit Engineering, super nice guy and he knows his stuff!

The No Limit race truck, crazy is the only way to describe it, and Rob is a hell of a nice guy.

Yes I can but just keep in mind that my wheel specs are for the Corvette suspension under my truck so the back spacing might not apply to yours. But my rears are 18x12 with a 7" back space and the fronts are 18x9 with a 5" back space. As far as pics go I'll get some tomorrow when I get back to the garage after work, what all angles would you like to see?
