Good job buddy, I bet that truck glows when you turn out the lights. Hahahah

I think you're doing a real nice job.
Gives me the incentive and courage to paint mine when I get to that stage.

this website inspires me ALOT and so much info and great people to help out. I'm going to start bolting her back together tonight. then its on to the wiring

Truck looks killer!!

[lowrodderchev]

so sadly I'm at a stand still I ordered some stainless steel button bots for the rear fenders and tail light section. I am going to do my wire all over but I'm torn between 21 circuit or 12 circuit. I don't have power windows or door locks. I may put a alarm down the road and I am defiantly putting in a small system. any suggestions guys. I see a lot of you guys run 21 circuit but most of you have the super nice dashes and all the bells and whistles. (my dash is stock)

Damn that looks good. As far as wiring goes, I used the 9 + 3 kit from Rebel Wire to wire my entire truck. I have everything hooked up and still have 3 open circuits for a stereo, and it was under $300 shipped to my door in Canada

[lowrodderchev]

darn I just got a 12 circuit speedway kit today. ive read a lot of good things on the hamb about rebel but the closer I get to the finish line the tighter my wallet gets

[Kim57]

Looks real nice.

[ChuckDriver]

You've done some nice work!

[Rednek13x]

Really liking that color

[59chev]

Looks great! Your truck has big a huge inspiration for my own build. I started out with a straight axle and recently went to a camaro clip. Your truck's stance is awesome!!

[lowrodderchev]

Thanx guys for the comments �� worked on wiring today fun fun really not as bad as I thought but then again I ain't running power yet �� having trouble with my hood latch won't lock right any ideas guys? Thanx

[lowrodderchev]

thought I would add this pic as it has somewhat of a funny story to it that pertains to my truck. my dad is always telling stories (glad I listen even if he retells the same story sometimes ) well one time he and my mom were coming from fresno heading to Tulare (45 minute drive) in the 57 and somewhere outside of fresno the fuel pump gave out. well my dad filled a water bottle with gas flipped it upside down and drove it home stopping every so often to refill the bottle, Tuesday after work i drove around town picking up a few things for my truck when i got 5 minutes away from my house my fuel pump died $45 to tow it when i live 5 minutes away couldn't do it so guess what i did thanx dad .....................
