Looks great; thanks for the ideal on red radiator; doing a engine real soon; block black, pan, valve covers and accessories red; didn't think about radiator.
Looks cool.

Well, Christine has struck again! I was in the garage doing a little fine tuning and i went to start my truck. Then all of a sudden the battery started sparking and wouldnt ya know it....my truck started on fire! LMAO...is all i can say at this point. Put the fire out and the only damage was to the battery and connectors/cables. My positive cable connector somehow shorted out at the battery terminal. Replaced it all and now its fine again. God i love this truck..lmao
