Ready to ride!

Well, after 2 1/2 years of work she's ready for the road. All that's left is tinting the windows and finishing up a couple of odds and ends.

Thanks for the reply's. Those are actually the factory 2-piece hubcaps. I took over the cover piece, painted the center and left the edge chrome for that beauty ring look. Just to throw it in, everything on it is still the originals except for the stereo, air filter and of course the driving lights. My grandfather dropped in the 460 when he first bought it about 15(?) years ago.

That looks awsome. What % tint is that? I plan on getting 20% and putting it on myself (probably within the next week). I've not tried tint before, but since I've done everything else on this truck, I figured I'd try this myself also. PS, side exhaust looks great also.

Stick that is 5% tint. I did it myself. A few imperfections, but not too bad. Didn't have any spare cash to have it dont professionally. It is hard to see out at night though. That's the only downfall.
