Probably in August, I'll be somewhere in the DFW area. I grew up in Arlington and Mansfield, but I haven't lived there or visited much since '96.

My plans are some of the normal stuff...

-Cowl Hood
-Roll Pan
-95+ grill w/ billet insert
-Smoothie Bumper
-Shaved Tailgate
-Tail lights
-Head lights
-4/6 or 5/7 drop for now (quality and comfort is my main concern here), -RideTech Shockwaves for the future
-95+ Interior swap
-LSx (eventually)


Then there's the Secret Squirrel stuff... :unibrow:

Well once you hit dirt here in "the land of everything has to have a star on it", hit me up and we'll compare notes!

Seems like we have some of the same mods in mind. I'm also planning on Shockwaves, LS motor, maybe a cowl hood. I've already got a rollpan on mine, but it needs to be reworked to fix the previous owners welds. I wanted LED tails for mine, but can't find any that don't look sorta ricer. Same for projector headlights, none that I've seen look right on this body style.

(yelling outside to California) You gettin this stuff Travis?! You see what you made us do?


Hahaha.



Jeff, sent you a PM.

Thanks guys. I'll gladly take the rap for the CK resurgence. They are such cool trucks. Op Muscle is running good and gets a dyno tune next weekend. New tranny goes in about 3 weeks and then I plan to upgrade the rear end with axles, gears and 3rd member. Deciding what to do with the seat belts. They are factory and Momma still wants a shoulder belt. Don't think it will look right with harnesses and the houndstooth interior. Probably just dye the factory grey ones black and vinyl dye the retractor. Got a few more things to clean up and finish on her. Hoping to take the weekend to work on it.

I e-mailed a bunch of build up and a few finished pics to Bill Howell to post here so pics will be up very soon. Thanks for the patience. I'm pretty good at shooting them but not so much at loading them up on sites. Beauty pics will be done in a few weeks once I finish up the console and button up a few things. Looking forward to meeting many of you.

Travis sent me (Richard Howell) the pictures to post up, no relation to Bill. Funny misunderstanding by both of us. It was good talking to you today Travis, Thanks again. I left the pictures somewhat large, I know everyone has been clamoring for them. Here they are. 15 here, 4 more below. Enjoy...

Why does it have to be so nice?! I absolutely love the interior...amongst many other aspects of it. I look forward to any more pictures, progress and future plans you post up!

Muscle Car PWR 04-15-2010 08:16 PM

Thanks Richard for posting these. I really appreciate the help.

Pasdu-Thanks for the compliments. I have a few more things to tidy up and she is a done deal. I want to change the belts to black so they don't stand out so much and it's getting a Tahoe console painted black. Might put an old school chrome tach in it somewhere. Thinking about a K&N chrome air cleaner for it so it has a more old school look over the stock black air cleaner.

I've been driving it. The headers are blue'ing up nicely.
