    It looks OK now, but because the rear tire is up in the wheel well and the front is not, even with a slight rake, it has the illusion that the rear is lower then the front (to me anyways)

    I was thinking of maybe a maroon...something of a warm color. Might go nice with the green. If all else fails though They'lll get black :D

    Dude stance is spot on! Congrats on the install now you're ready to kick some West ***!!!


    How can your install be so clean and every fuel line and sparkplug wire be in the right place but you so haphazardly leave the head light wiring looking dare I say rat roddy?


    Wheel color should be black or dark Oxblood red.

    Way to go Chris... You've definitely got yourself one (make that read..."another" ) sweet ride... Keep up the good work!!! Those apple green wires were almost as popular as those red ones back in the day...

    I really like the look of your truck. Kind of look like mine. Sure wish I had another carburator or two though.

  12. Maroon? well if that's the case just swap wheels and tires with Lenny's Depot Hack Model A Pick Up. I'm sure Lenny wont mind and heck he might not even notice for while.:D

  14. Hey I just thought of another wheel color....did you know all the cool "fruits" are saying that Neon Yellow is going to be the "new" flat black. It might look good on your truck? ;)

    Looks and sounds great - my only concern - is it loud enough!

    Don't yell at me.:D:D I'm just trying to keep your game up. It's not enough that you just beat the west, you must pulverize them and look good doing so.:cool:

    Is your brother driving his R(PU)?

    Very nice truck. Is it safe to use copper tubing for fuel lines or is there a special kind of metal fuel line that can be used instead of copper?

  25. x2, besides, we need as many cars as we can get from the eastside, plus you'd get to spend a weekend hangin' with Thee Inland Emperors, and as an added bonus we'll will even put together a tour of all the old junk that we know of laying around Spokane.

    Copper can become brittle and crack over time. I have ran it before and never had a problem.
