Rob, just about all of LCTC, along with a few of the Tenn. Zoo Crew, will be staying in Ocean Springs this year . It's great to camp right on the beach . Every year they talk about not allowing that, but its yet to happen.

Do you have to pay or do you just pitch a tent?

**Bowtie468** · 04-05-2012, 04:51 PM

We will be in a motel . But a lot of people just park their camper or motor home wherever they can just off the highway . I can't say I've seen anyone in a tent, that wind can be pretty harsh at times. One of our guys literally got his NOS front grille sandblasted on the run to Bay St Louis !

Lookin' AWESOME Chris!! I can't wait to see it cruisin in October!

Newtz67 · 04-05-2012, 10:23 PM

Wow bro, the truck looks great with trim on it!

**Hart_Rod** · 04-05-2012, 11:59 PM

That suxs about the 16s. That's what I have on my truck to and don't want to go with a shorter tire and can't go with a wider tire....

. Hopefully there will be more options by the time I need a new set.

True , I had forgotten that you are running the same rear tire . Ditto on the options by the time we need them . That or just round up another 47 people ( plus you, myself & smoknbarrels) and have M/T do a run of them !

chapster · 04-07-2012, 07:27 PM

Ya I think so, I was originally thinking of a custom dash. Now I can't decide what colour scheme which changes the gauge background colour I would need.

If I could only make a decision.......lol

late68 · 04-08-2012, 11:56 PM

Man those gauges look awesome!

raull · 04-09-2012, 09:16 AM

They look awesome!

**Bowtie468** · 05-15-2012, 11:10 PM

A few more items to scratch off the list. Got the upper radiator mount fabbed up and installed. Also, the radiator catch can is installed and plumbed. Finally, the front grille got covered in basecoat then cleared.

chapster · 05-15-2012, 11:26 PM

Nice work Bowtie!!!!
