been doing mods to the camaro lately and have been neglecting the truck since its summer and drag racing in the summer here sucks
anywho , started by removing the vinyl stripes which began to look like ish since its parked outside alot . i also got sold my old wheels and got a set of fikse forged 2 piece wheels , 17 x 9.5 front and 17 x 11 rears , dave you think your wheels took long i waited well over 2 months for these to be made. i was some anxious to get them . the stock wheels are 17 x 9 and weigh 22 lbs each the fikse 17 x 9.5 weigh 18 lbs and the 17 x 11 weigh almost 19 . the tires i have now also weigh less for the front 275 and the rears weigh a pound or two heavier , so i lost 5-6 lbs a wheel in the front and about 3-4 in the rear even with the much wider 315/35/17's. the quality of the wheels is insane i posted a picture of the backside of the wheel in the spoke where its been lightened by hollowing the spoke out.

i also installed a line lock to heat the rear et mt streets i have on the stock wheels( 275/40/17) which i have been driving on for the past 3 weeks
a friend and i also painted some of the interior plastic mettalic dark blue while i did the line lock .
Since i had the brake system opened i deceided to go ahead and have some SS lines made, i had them use blue covering instead of clear( anyone interested in SS lines for their trucks i can have them made in almost any color )



here you can see the led when the line lock is armed

and here is the hardlined line lock on the driver side fender well( notice the kooks headers)

i also painted the calipers with g2 epoxy which leave a powercoat like finish that has good durability , with some logos'( here you see the blue ss brake lines and koni/strano shocks and springs)


and some final shots with the durty girl herself



here you can see the sub frame connectors ( under rockers) used to stiffen up the unibody frame to help with less chassis flex)

also installed kooks SS lt' headers with ory and magnaflow catback , it is actually quiter now with no cats than it was with the mani's and the slp loudmouth 1. but at wot it sounds kind of mean . but needs more .
i also have a nice power adder coming but its nothing real crazy , ill be installing it later but just trying to peice it all together. its not FI or nitrous this car must retain reliablity and look stock . but should make over 430 rwhp

i do like hte wheels. i actually liked your car with the silver 35th ani stripes. as for painted interior i personally wouldnt of done that to such a nice car.
i plan to paint my 35th stripes on instead of the decal
