Well really did not think about that enough until you asked about the size differance, rear gears,etc etc The 60's would look better, but doing hypothetical math the bigger tire would 1/4 mile trap rpm seemed too low Was going for the resale "look" vs performance Well see if I was right or wrong this spring

HOOSIERS 275/50/15

Fuel cell and battery set up

Initial fire up waiting on a couple of fuel fittings to finish

Rear wheels showed up Just need rear tires

Grill, bumper and front skinnies And bed cover

Thanks Did not turn out too bad for a home rattle can job It is still joining to be a 10 footer, just won't be so damn ugly

After color sand and buff, now just the hood took several hours trying not to F up

started assembly, I really need wheels and bed cover

after the first 2 coats of clear , sill wet

Out in the day light for the first time in a while

I believe I am done with color Just need to clean ,do some corrections and run removal Then clean ,color sand and clear

Believe it or not,this is just Red Rustolem, Lots and lots of prep and sanding work, no filler all metal Prep is everything, I wish it could be a little cleaner environment but hey it is what it is for a $1,000 truck and just waisting time in the garage Paint is just color, , and finish is just smoke and mirrors for the eyes So lots of clear and a good buff, makes $200.00 worth of material to a long way It will still be a 20 footer when finished, and that's ok be wise it was soooooo dan ugly to start with

second coat , still has a few flaws but slowly working them out
