Every time I pop in here, I think of the Sammy Hagar tune "Red".

 

"(Red) I want red

There's no substitute for red

(Red) Paint it red"

Driver side is 99% done

Those chrome window trims…are those new or rechromed? They look sharp. Nice work.

NO! If I remember right that’s a factory, 13 second truck. Yes, an LS might make it faster, but that’s too nice a truck to be cutting up, also to rare.

No, V6 all the way. I am thinking of building a big power block. Will see. I want to enjoy it. It’s got only 36500 miles.

This guy is across the street from us.  Don't know anything about his business, but we see GNX's driving around the area.

Interesting. I did not realize that. Thanks for the education on that. I had no idea and assumed it was some metal that was chromed. 👍👍

Leave it stock. You've got many other heavily modified toys. It's nice to have a stock one in the bunch.

I'm here for the pics.  Nice work, Ray!

Look the Truck half way out of the garage yesterday for more lighting in the garage install. Can wait to put bed on and front valance in case your wondering why the front looks funny. Don't laugh its paid for.lol

Also I'm still thinking of rearview mirrors. I do like the BMW 2002  flag mirrors I had but was thinking of something else now. Carbon fiber? I am not sure yet. 

[Stoffregen Motorsports]

I think carbon on the exterior would be the only thing that color, aside from the tires. Stick with chrome or stainless.

 

And please don't put them on the fenders. This is way more of a muscle car at this point than a JDM tuner car.

How about some scooter mirrors?

No no no. I might go naked for a little while before I install anything.

What is going on with the front valence of your truck?  Looks like someone took a cutoff wheel and just did a doodle across it.  Is that what our trucks look like without the stock valence and bumper?
