Shiny Stuff

Just put in the polished scuff plates in my 64 cab along with installing new Rotors, Drilled and Slotted. These are in my "Grill of my dream's" album.
Let me know what you guy's think.

Oh yeah there's a couple of holes I need to fill in where a switch was at.

Every time I look at your truck, I love it just a little bit more!

Might I ask what you did in the front to get it lower?

Thank you.
For the front, I installed a Volare front I can probably go down another inch but I'm ok with it where it's at.

That's one mean low machine !
What do you do to detail the flat paint. Wash / no wax.
Had my truck painted with Hotrodz flat red. But I haven't waxed it yet.

How does that Volare setup ride?

I've heard pros and cons about it, such as it being dirt cheap but it rides like ***.

Those scuff plates are wicked cool. Where did you get those at? I wanted something like that on my wife's, so I made something with some stainless steel trim I found, but it was on the vertical panel at the top. But I really like those.

Their original scuff plates. I found a pair a while back and finally hooked up with a plater/chromer. He did these for me to see how I like his work, needless to say He has done quite a bit of work for me since.

It's a black primer so I just wash it, dry it, drive it.
