I have the AR Outlaw rims (look in my gallery), they stand out nicely with the flat black. I like flames if very subtle, the only exception I've seen was Jessies truck on Monster Garage that has what looks like an actual flame airbrushed on (hate to think of the hours for that). The door handles do look nice against the black also.

I did my truck in Satin black. It def. has an old school look to it. Alot of compliments as well. It sure is nice to have something different. take a look at my pics.

INTIM: The black looks awesome! Real mean truck, bound for the movies!
How much work was your 351M to 460 swap? Were you able to use the big 460 rad in the 351 core support?

Thanks trinogt, really appreciate it. The swap wasnt all that bad. I had to order new mounts from L&L products. Kept the same towers. I did have to trim away some of the tower on the passenger side to allow for the header. The driver side was close, but fit. I had to buy a new 3 core radiator, the old one was shot. The new radiator bolted right in to the old supports. To be honest, it was easier than I thought it was going to be. It was def. worth the swap. Alot of fun

Intimidator, I really like the wheel treatment. Your right in that it really captures that "old school" hot rod look. The other benifit is never having to wax!
