Don't let her make you sell it!! I know how the women are!!

 

Sell? Never!
I am hoping I can keep this in the family for a long, long time.

 

Looking around the interwebs I came across a set of wheels I really like.



Wasn't planning on spending much on wheels, but I really dig these!

 

I hope they are like 16 at the most and not the new age young 18 or 20's.
They don't look to bad if ya got some rubber on them. And 20's don't have enough rubber.

 

i like slot mags best myself, or turbines.

 

Turbines would be my first choice, but with an 8 on 170 Superduty lug pattern that will never happen. These have the classic styling that I like, they somewhat remind me of a cross between a turbine and a wagon wheel.

I will go with either 16" or 17", depends on tire price and availability when the time comes.

 

I decided to re-spray the hood, I sanded through on an edge and it was driving me nuts.
Just finished color sanding and polishing the hood, I still have 2 runs that need to be taken care of but the paint is too soft to do those right now.



Also painted the grill and head light surrounds, as well as the dash and the cluster bezel. I have decided to use the stock gauges for now to save on the budget, I want to go with the analog Dakota set up.

 

looks good Dave. Let me know if you want a hand with the hood again.

 

You sure do like white Nice job though

 

wow! that is some nice paint!

 

Thanks to Greg I got the hood back on today and laid out the stripes.



Also got the throttle body painted and installed, also I will be using an old ammo box to house the fuel controller.

 

looking good man. Maybe I can hang around longer next time.

 

Just finished the stripes on the driverside.

 

Nice striping, it looks professional.

 

The more I see that chrome powder coat the more I want some! Love the ammo box in there
