Is what I see through the windshield an option on all you builds Greg ??

Quote=Also the LS3 is out and a new Don Hardy Race Engines in the 500 ish HP range is going in. Maybe a few surprises there too.

Good call on the Moal cap. It's a great looking piece, just not on this truck. I see the spray outs they've got there, what are you thinking?

It's good to hear you're happy with the shop and the quality of work they're doing...priceless.
:thumbsup:

The darkest grey there ---- with the beltline done in mat black and then pinstriped --- Wheels (they're billet) will be polished hoop - mat black "spokes" with the spacer gloss black -- polished poverty cap.

Engine compartment will be a few tone on tone - mat and gloss.....

Don Hardy built the LS motor in my '33 hiboy..... a 480HP version. Motor was awesome!

And yes --- we're all hot rodders.... and "Stock" just doesn't do it for us.

Day one on the tour I was driving 700HP ---- Day 2 thru til the end I was driving a RamJet 350..... I can tell you with certainty that I like the 700HP WAY better. By the time we got to Austin (Andice) I'd already made up my mind that 430HP wasn't going to get it done. LOL

:waveflag: surrender to the power!

Lsa..............lsa................lsa........... ..

Horsepower IS a drug... We're just lucky it isn't regulated. :D

I know you love the LSA but they're far too tame for my liking. For me it's got to SOUND like power. Rudy and I both commented about how quiet the '65 was when you went buy us a couple times. I prefer motors that are a little snotty.

WOW, looks killer, love the wheels!

Thanks Joe!

I'm trying to build the truck to "appear" at first glance -- rather "stock"..... so if you just saw it running down the road - someone might say "look at that cute old truck" --- but to people that really "see it" --- they're going to have to walk over and take a look.... or if they hear it -- they're going to have to come see what the hell is going on there..... LOL

Personally I think the wheels make the look.

I'm also building this to be a daily driver --- so all of that plays into what I'm trying to accomplish. Have it be "playful" but daily driveability... so simple paint (repairable) - simple systems - parts I can get on a road trip (starters and alternators and bearings etc).
