Thanks for the comments guys and ladie lol, I'm hoping for at least 13's not on slicks. I mean it feels quick and for a RCSB with a cam/exhaust/stall/gear with a good tune I think it should be right in there... Aug 24 huh? Maybe I will end up that way... The trucks needed a good road trip lately... *thinking*... jf-03-ss, are you the one that came down to CT that one day with the red SS?

The only other thing I want to do right now as far as looks is get the chrome in the grill blacked out and paint the bowtie silver to match the wheels... I think those last two things will tie the truck together and finish it off for the looks, other than that I'm happy with it. I'm very much a less is more person and not really into a lot of flashy stuff... it just sucks you gotta do so much crap for the less is more look lol

Thanks again for the comments everyone! Any more guesstimates on the e.t. anyone?

I hear you on the having to do a lot for the less is more look. I'd recommend a SSS grille or just paint the chrome on your stocker. It'll look real good with that body color and the bowtie painted the same as the wheels, you've got good ideas
