It started out as a stock '82 with a big block


The motor's been rebuilt and puts out 500+ Hp and almost 600 ft. lbs.


It's got a full 4-link in the rear and a crossover exhaust




I'm currently installing a tubular front end from DJM and then it's heading for paint.

Haha ya its pretty close. Off the top of my head im pretty sure the colors are GTS dodge viper blue and the grey is '86 chevy truck paint. I painted it in 2004 the same year i did a full frame off on it. What are your colors? Oddly enough when i first painted it i wanted to put a lime green pinstripe on it to break the blue and grey kinda like what you have with the flames.

if im correct the viper blue and the blue i used (dodge electric blue pearl) are very similiar if not the same thing, it looks differnt at night and day, i added a little extra pearl and it looks amazing in the sun, the silver i used was just a BC145 Diamont toner, mine looks the same outside, the blue looks deep under lights at night, and im glad you didnt do the green, or we'd have a prob, lol, its hard to see, but i hav a pinstripe on there also
