Looks like a project in the works. looking good so far.

Sorry its been awhile I dont really get here that often.

I havent decided on the final color yet, but its getting re-sprayed white primer in a month or so.

Both sides will be disappearing, just did the passenger's side right now becuase I dont have the money for poppers.

And for the final whees of this stage are 17x8 with a 235/40.



Of course, the ultimate goal is 20's, and it will be stockfloor Body dropped in the future, and a front end conversion, but all that comes next winter, when the truck is down again. I'm also gunna change the front set-up for more lift.

It's an on going project that will never be "Finished" but it does have stages that it will go through.

Stage I: Primer, 17's, Laying Crossmember, shaved.
Stage II: Front end conversion, SFBD to the rocker, 20's, Laying frame and rocker, Paint, Backhalf.
Stage III: TBD to the Door, on 20's, Full Custom frame, Custom Interior.
