83 Starry Night

[matthew21lutz]

So after a lost build post and probably with good reason, I'm starting a new build thread for my truck, which I'm calling Starry Night.

After going back and fourth on design ideas for the past three years, I now have the means to build my truck the way I want. Dropped 2.5" in the front and 4" in the back, a black metallic paint with silver and gold flake (hence the starry night). Want to keep the small block in it, probably going to rebuild the engine with heads, cam, intake, carb maybe efi and some other little things. Full length headers, then build or get a 2.5" exhaust system made, that's mandrel bent, with x-pipes and magna-flow mufflers, either will do rear exit exhaust(2nd Image) or dump it after the rear end. Posi rear end with the gears we decide on later. Going to go with 17x8 steelies with some mickey thompsons, not sure on the sizes just yet. Inspiration for the stance came from this beauty:

Would Like to eventually take apart the entire truck and powder coat the frame and pretty much the entire drivetrain. After that, going to replace on bushing and body mounts, most will be replaced with polyurethane bushings.

Interior is going to take a while, would like to customize the door panels somewhat like these. But I'd like to add in door handles like the second one. Going to end up going to low back bucket seats with a center console. All of the interior is going to be black with rgb led's for interior lighting (3rd Image).
