the list is long. well i have to get the engine legal for my area first. but needs cab corners and rockers. interior needs some attention.  i want it lower. want to bag it some day but that isn't top priority. i was thinking about doing like a flat black or velvet black paint. with like 18 in rallies painted red with 2in white walls. kind of like a modern/old school 50's style. but i love 20'' chrome baby with nice paint. what do you think.

Hey I like old school. My 85 is flat black now and eventually will be wearing a quartet of ralleys when I have the money for tires.

just got my new front end. its out of a 89 gmc jimmy. i got the full harness. all the lights, hardware, core support, grille ,bezels, everything. i also got all the interior trim pieces for the headliner and pillars. plus sunvisors and brackets. i have to dye all the plastic, but i couldn't pass up the deal. some guy wanted 300 dollars on ebay for the plastics. i got mine for $20. total for everything 270 dollars. i have to do some prep on the rad support first. and strip the lower valance and repaint it. i will post some pics when i get a chance. i got the plastics from a 85 gmc sierra. i took one of the front pillar pieces from the jimmy.

I hear ya! Everything takes time. I just lowered mine today(the budget way) and will post pics on another thread but it's one of those things that i've been itching to do just never had the time.
