Re: 55 Chevy Truck Build...Finally
Thanks for the kind words guys! I waver back and forth on the color but think I will do the color that Ive wanted one for many years even tho I know of a few already that color. 02 Chrysler Prowler Orange. Plan is use either Schott Accelerator or Raceline Smuggler wheels with the bronze centers.
