Updates? Anticipationz

Are you gonna run the black/polished lip wheels, what are they btw?

[octobeak]

heres some more pics of the past years progress of the truck, tried some faux finishing on the doors and cab...







and machined some more parts...

I'm working on some new ideas, gonna trim the front a little to make it more maneuverable, add a bumper to protect the front sheet metal, and add some copper trim for around the wheels with new routed exhaust exiting the front fenders. I recently got a lm7 and 4l80e so a modern drivetrain swap might be in order (and maybe a single turbo for kicks).

the front runners are just older (mid to late 70's) f-body spares, 15x4 wheels on 5x4.75. the trim ring is off of a 15x7 chevy rally wheel. v-dub size tires 165r15
the rear are 15x8 corvette rallys with beauty ring, 275/60/15 nitto drag radials.

I love steelies on this style of truck but i love options, im thinking of buying some 15x4 spoked gasser wheels and 15x10 halibrands for the rear. I also have my 17" salt flat specials that fit my chevelle, lucky for me it wears the same bolt pattern(you can see them on the rear of the truck in the fourth picture from the top).
