love the look. my brother just had his 68 camaro rs done in hot rod black. im sure he gets a little annoyed at the many times when people have asked when hes going to paint it thinking its primer. even his auto appraiser asked. the subtle pinstripe on yours looks great on the black

Hey shipmate nice truck I like the flat black look and the rims.what kind are they?, I'm guessing 20" bullit rims no??. I'm trying to pull off the flat black look also on my 81 c10. Any suggestions!....Thanks

The Rims are 20" Torque Thrust II's, Tire Sizes are: 245ZR40-20 Front / 295ZR40-20 Rear. I used EastWood's "Hot Rod Black" Kit and then shot it with a few coats of clear to make it more durable. It's was painted 2 years ago and hasn't faded a bit and look just as good as the day it was painted.

Here's a video I posted the other day: Good Luck!!

Almost a year into the paint job and it looks just like it did last April when it got painted!

Looking into bags from Suicide Doors this summer and interior redo.

**scotts62** · 05-16-2010, 06:29 PM

Very cool!! Nice and clean!

staggerd86c-10 · 05-17-2010, 08:44 AM

It looks really nice, i would just drop the front a little bit more to even it out or even give it a bit of a rake from the rear, I have always liked this truck, bad ass!

CHEESE · 05-18-2010, 09:46 AM

Looks clean!! Pinstripe pops!! Very nice

CLASSIC87' · 05-18-2010, 10:19 AM

I have the tank, tubing and bags for the front already from Suicide Doors, just not installed yet. I'm getting my list together to get the rear parts. Then, I can get the bags under it and adjust as my attitude sees fit.

Thanks guys!!

Love that color. That's the sort of look I wanna go for on my truck when I get new steel done.

smupreacher · 05-19-2010, 11:09 PM

The paint on this truck is amazing....I think this is the look I am looking for, especially since all of the 'candy' and 'pearl' painted square bodies here in Dallas. This would be very different....I love it.

Driveway Dreams · 05-20-2010, 12:11 AM

Truck looks great overall! I like the stance. The wheel/tire combo looks great too! Oh, but that motor...I don't think it really matches your truck. Just go ahead and give that one to me so that you don't have to live with that anymore.

Nice truck!!

ADennis · 05-20-2010, 10:45 AM

Bad Ass! Man that thing is awesome! Killer detail on the engine too. Makes me want to turn my small block into a boat anchor.

87Lowrider · 05-23-2010, 07:35 PM

Thanks so much for the nice words... I have to get started on the interior now and get the bags under it. New post coming about interior. Ken

baggedcten · 05-23-2010, 07:46 PM

What are the plans for the bags?Dropmembers?

87Lowrider · 05-23-2010, 08:03 PM

Well, I've already got the front bags and air tank from Suicide Doors. I still need the rear bags, plumbing, pump, valves and controls so I'm a little ways from getting my shopping done. Drop Member? Will I need to consider that?

1984 swb chevy · 05-23-2010, 08:36 PM

It looks great. The shop did a great job.

WigglesTheHoly · 05-23-2010, 09:09 PM
