    Me too... I keep dreaming George will call tomorrow and say the interior is done so we can get this finish. When you're sitting around all day waiting for Wednesday & Saturdays to roll around. The brain intends to wonder alot...

    I like the overall look, especially with the flamethrower. Pesonally I would run the plug wires around the back of the heads and up from the bottom with that air cleaner, it just looks a little "busy" with the wires on the valve covers to me.
     
  6. Stellar! Let's see somebody pull some lines on that thing...you guys are drivin' me crazy with this truck...I love this thing and appreciate the updates

    That air cleaner is the S@#T! I would be willing to prep that thing for green if that is what is needed. How about gloss black with an orange pinstripe around the top edge with the top center filled in green?!?

    That air cleaner rocks. I wouldn't paint it green. That will look funny IMO with the orange. How about an orange scallop (kinda like the GM front hood emblem on caddys and chevys) striped in silver since the motor has some silver accents?

    Yeah, my vote goes with Mac and Django. Needs some color to tie into the body. One bitching cover though!!

    Not sure I'm totaly sold on this... I would have to dwell on it in person for a while.
    But I like Django's version better.

    I think with the body and grill shell mounted this dude will look awesum and then the color can be picked.................one of a kind for sure. Look what the boat cleaner has done for the Krylon car..........:eek:

    Yeah, diggin this one right here. I like the matching side scallops too. :cool: Gotta use your Bubba vision and envision the green body, shroud and headlights all in place. It won't stand out like it is now with nothing around it.

    I love 99.9% of this great makeover,well done indeed.:D
    I would like say that the steering arms off the spindles are bad design,backward ackerman and really needs fixing,by a bit longer tie rod and arms that are at lest zero or closer to right ackerman so the cool rod will be a better driver.;)
     
  30. I would go gloss black with some pinstripes...too much and it will become the first thing you notice about the truck rather than the complete package and that would be a shame as this truck is coming together super nice
