Well, I hope you find a good deal on the parts you need.

on the rad..there's some NICE aluminum ones on ebay that fit our trucks for around $200 and sometimes less....I know several guys on here running them with no issues....

headers- some A-body ones work with our trucks depending on your mounts-might want to research that as you can get stainless ones for around 150 shipped (also on ebay) and ceramic coated ones for just a little bit more...

Fans-you can find cheap factory options for those-read up on the FAQ's---some look almost factory for our trucks

Tranny-check craigslist...I've seen some deals I almost picked up to re-sell they were so cheap....

...and interior....just throw an old bench with a cover on it for now...enjoy the cruising at the end of the summer....

...then you'll have the winter to save up and find deals on the interior stuff and you'll have a reason to take the truck to the same shows/cruises next year (finished interior)

Heck...enter it in some shows and you'd almost be a lock for best unfinished ride :D

That sounds good. We will see. I just want it finished, I'm going to be patient and wait til it's done. that's just me. I'vewaited this long. what's one more year.

Yes the signal lights in the grill. I would have shaved that clean and went with the signal lights in headlights for a cleaner look. Lexus has a nicer gray. I hate everytime I see a Lexus!!! But for the most part it meets my expectations, thus far.

Have not seen the Lexus grey but the one you have is original and yours. Would have hated it more, that every time you seen a Lexus it was the same color as your "67".

Not exactly! It's from 09-10 Nissian Altima/Maxima. It has a blue pearl on a metallic paint. With 3 clears! Custom paints are nice, but I intend to drive my truck! As custom as I'm doing my truck it is not a trailer queen. So if ever need to touch it up or something happens it won't be hard or expensive to touch up!

My son is boxing and He actually pretty good and I'm having to put everything on the back burner to support his goals. I plan on taking my income tax and finishing my truck by this time next year. Sorry for the delay. No one is as anxious to finish my dream vehicle more than me!!!!
