I just think the racelines are better looking.. Besides every truck including mine has 5 spokes similar to coys... Check out mikes wheels(aka cheby) his are different and stand out..

Yea I really like these, especially the color and older style but the Boyd Wheels are a bit pricey for this build.

Unless, you have any ideas on how I could get them to sponsor this truck and give me the wheels.

Getting closer to driver worthy! We now have the exhaust tips mounted and the rear roll pan temporarily installed...

Thanks! We had to sacrifice hiding the fuel tank but I think it was well worth it, we are excited to see it all together with the tailgate and a fresh coat of paint.

zacthrasher · 04-02-2012, 11:16 PM

Here is a few more pictures, we put a few bolts in the bumper but still lack a couple of brackets. Also here is a picture of the tank being redone, there were a few pin holes therefore we had a few bubbles in the paint. So we re-coated the inside with some more tank sealer from POR-15. I think the sealer is a really good product if you properly follow directions.

Thank you both! Its is a good feeling getting this close to finishing!

zacthrasher · 09-04-2012, 07:27 PM

It has been awhile but we are getting closer. We are now able to drive it but we lack some interior work, a few odds and ends and a final coat of paint. Here are some pictures of us pulling her out for the first time in a long time in which you can tell with the thick layer of dust. Here are some pictures.
