Just wanted to update album. Took off the doghouse and prepared engine & tranny for removal. Gotta put some blue on that block... looks to much like a chebby! Want to paint same color as finish on truck (2001 Viper Blue) hopefully. Probably change my mind about three more times.
Frame silver with some metallic with clear and viper blue on drive train and and finish. hope it looks ok when done. Gonna name her "Big Blue"!

 

Looking good, you're doing some nice work.

 

Looking great already looks like you have made some progress good job keep up the excellent work

 

Bob,
Lookin good! Love those 55's. I like the silver frame and it should look great with a blue body.

 

I like the silver frame too, gives it a really clean look

 

Looks great. What were the steps you took to end up with such a good finish on the frame and suspension components?

 

Looks like you are doing a fantastic job with it. I love the silver frame color!!

 

Grandson sure looks ready to go to work. He know if he start helping now who will end up with one sweet ride!

 

Good looking truck. I like the stance. Keep up the hard work.

Nice work all round. My truck is about at the same stage, keeping in mind that my frame hasn't been done as well. I really like the wheel tubs you've used, could you tell me where you got them?
Thanks DAN

 

It's gonna be purdy!

 

Thanks for the compliments on the 55. I can not take credit for the work on the front suspension install. Previous owner did the front suspension. He was a rod builder for many years in OH. Built some absolutely beautiful stuff (show winners). God Bless his soul... he got lukemia at age 53 and passed away. I bought the last rod he had started and going to try and finish it the way he started.

 

Bob,

That silver frame should really set off the blue paint. i think it will look awesome!

All it takes is a willingness to learn. Slap some tools in that boys hand (don't forget the little guy either) You'll have quite the team of helpers

Nice!!! looks great. I like the wheels tubs too. not too big. Viper blue is a great color. I like Ford's Sonic Blue as well....
