Trust me it's getting there

Going under the knife soon. Parts are getting ordered bit by bit. Goal is 600-700hp range

Had 2 sets of stocks laying around
One with good lens and bad chrome insides
One with bad lenses and good chrome inside

Took them both apart and are marrying the two together

Before I put them together
Decided to go ahead and paint match

Sealant is drying up now and on the truck tomorrow 🤘🏽

06_Sleeper

nowwwww the truck is needing to go in to paint. went to a show at the track this weekend, and someone did a burntout in the gravel behind the truck and peppered the tailgate, bumper, bedside and part of my hood as well as cracking my fender flare

Ecobuilder

That bites!

Truck is looking good. With the addition of that exhaust, you're not much in the 'sleeper' category anymore!

Will be following your build with interest.

Good luck with the engine upgrade.

06_Sleeper

Thanks! Yeah exhaust kinda killed it now but I love it! Haha

And I just started looking st short blocks from ModMax, DSS, and MMR

Hopefully I'll decide soon and get everything ordered and then comes the fun part, motor swap

thebreba

Oooo you're gonna do a motor swap? I thought you were gonna get your motor built. Looking forward to seeing what you go with. :o

Got a little bored and did a little paint work under the hood

Paint color is Ford Toreado Red Metallic
And I'm loving the way it pops under there

On the search for wheels and tires right now. Itching for a new set up

Ecobuilder

I like the colour a lot. Also engine bay looks much more compact with that Volant CAI and without the factory setup.
