Default 2005 Pewter Rcsb build***New Project

Sup all, just picked this truck up last week. Got some big plans but will be a slow build. I'll update when new ish arrives.
2005 rcsb, 5.3, 3.23. 111k.
Plans for the truck are:
Suspension (want it to hook when I go big power down the road)
Wheels/tires
Cosmetic ish along the way
Cam/stall ( may turbo the 5.3 or build a 6.0 in the future)

Day I bought it:

How'd you remove the pinstriping? I tried removing mine and it doesn't peel, more or less flakes off like its dried out lol

Evo was fun, like a go kart w a lot of power lol. Vette was an animal. Miss both of them the most..

Pinstripping was done recently by prev owner so it was fresh... A heat gun or in my case hair dryer and some patience. Lol
Thanks all.

Vette ran a 10.4 spinning its *** off. Was a iron 403, novi 2k @16 lbs, meth, and a rpm lvl5 tr6060. Made 856/780 on race fuel and 805/750 on 93.


Anyways, this will be a very slow build. Got a kiddo now so, funds are tied up.
