door handles are off of an Escalade. They are actually the rear door handles, that is why there is no key holes. I dont want to truck to be all red. I like the break up of black handles, black mirrors, stock bumper, black roll cage, stock lower front valance. I think it adds to the look of the truck. Besides they have been that way for over 6 years and I ain't changin them now

I think the article came out great. I just wish he talked about why he named it the Bad Apple. Its because I own a apple orchard and that is where we took some of the pics........including the 3 huge burnout sessions

Got the truck back from Slowhawk Performance a few weeks ago. Rebuilt the 408, which is now a 410 and had the heads cleaned up a bit. Made right around 800/800 at 11.5 psi. Had a car show here at work last week and decided to show all the kids how its done...

***UPDATE***

I'm back. Truck has been driven a little on the street for the past 2 years but not as much as I would have liked. I am now looking to swap wheels and just run a drag set up all the time. I am looking to see what is out there for Bogart fronts to match my rears. I am selling my street rims if anyone is interested:
