MAN--IT IS GETTING SCARY!!!--YOU HAVEN'T SOLD THAT TRUCK YET!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: IT IS LOOKING GOOD---LIVELY
lmao im really trying to keep this one. i want to race this year.

[lookingaround]

thanks guys. ive got a buddy that is going to do the painting on it any ideas on a color and scheme?

[lotsof454sss]

What ever you do PLEASE do not paint it the same ole colors I see on most S-10's...Go wild man and make it something that when you pull into the track they say "Oh no we're gonna have a bad night" cause here comes that Damn #@#%* colored truck from Lenior City,Tn. :lol:

See ya at the races 8)

[lively]

YES----PAINT IT SOMETHING CRAZY :P :P ----BE DIFFERENT :shock: :shock: --THAT WAY NOBODY WILL FORGET YOU :wink: :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol: ---LIVELY

[lookingaround]

what do yall think about flames? he can lay out a set of flames like crazy

[lively]

FLAMES ARE NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!---- :lol: :lol: :lol:

[jimbobwie]

flames are overplayed... but somtimes look nice :D


id say do somthing completely off the wall.... like an amazon woman riding a unicorn swinging an axe :lol: or conan on the hood and 2 half naked chicks down the side.... no way anyone will forget that.. hahaha..

or go flat black and pinstripe the living hell out of it

my plan for my next truck project is painting it olive drab green with pinup girls on my doors *shrug*

to each there own...

good looking project and good luck :)

[lotsof454sss]

Yellow primer and a kick ass truck that don't get beat...forget the body/color just "BAD TO THE BONE FAST"

[v8Fiero]

or go flat black and pinstripe the living hell out of it

good looking project and good luck :)

YES!! I think the most eye catching paint is a well done blacked out car and pinstriping definatly adds to the 'coolness' of a completely black car if done right.

but to each his own and I appreciate any paint job that is done right (no maaco or stick-on carp)

[lookingaround]

i got the radiator support cleaned and painted. got the front clip put back on. got the bed set back on. got it sanded to metal and one side under primer. the bed is a little rougher then i want so im going to try to find another bed. first im going to start on the motor build. i can run the bed for now if i have to. ill try to get pics tomorrow forgot to take camera to the garage today.

[olds48]

Flat black and pinstriping don't look right on late models.But metal flake works on EVERYTHING.Then again,paint it the way you like it and tell anyone that scoffs at it to beat it.

[lookingaround]

[FullTimeRacing]

put ladder bar and a 9in in it to solve that problem. If you put good axles in you'll just brake gears.

[topsportsman1]

Boys Avery,she looks nice and its surely making some power now huh?

That nitrous will find all the weak points,you can bet on that :)

[lookingaround]

thanks Big Dog. i havent got the NOS hooked up yet just the plate put on it. not sure it was alot of power just a weak 7.5 rear. lol ive got a 9 inch for it that is 31 spline with a 390 gear and a locker. it will need more gear though.

[hollowayshotrods]

That is going to be one sweeeeeeeet S-10! Puttin' all the right goodies on it. You decided on the paint yet?

[lookingaround]

thanks holloways. im thinking about blue. ive got about 3 or 4 different color blues i like.

[lookingaround]

got my fenderwell headers put on it. that let it breathe alot better. 2" primaries and 3 1/2 collector
