Nice truck! Change the heads and cam and it will run like it should have from the beginning!
i wish i had the money i might throw a Edelbrock 3764 on it

Put some VRT on those tires it's bugging me.
ya think VRT will bring them back to life again?

Nice i have always have wanted one but in red or white.
yeah those are really rare. you never see any red or white ones on the east coast. they made a certain amount of stepside 454SS's in California also.

That thing has a 454 right? I dont see any tire smoke in any of those pics!
ooo trust me, itll lay some strips no problem. just tires are too expensive these days. (i know i sound like a cheapo) but ive learned my lesson to start saving my money now...

Claybar/Light Coat of Wax:
Then, the unknown happened. WHITE overspray covered the entire truck from my brothers PAINTBOOTH :help: It wasnt too bad, because of the fresh coat of wax that was applied prior to this happening.
Aftermath of Claybarring all weekend/waxing. Stilling Claybarring to this day!:
After more wax/polishing:

with Bill, a rotary isn't what you want to be practicing with, you'll burn through your paint like a hot knife through butter.
yeah thats what i figured. better be safe than sorry. im gonna try and do some magic by hand to test out my first ever treatment from Adam. hopefully ill like the products! i ordered the Paint Only Kit, the Sampler Kit, and some nice new clean Microfibers

well, the polisher isnt mine, but my buddy has that polisher. he told me i could use it. so basically i need a PC...
and also, i dont have much experience machine polishing, but i have hours upon days upon nights of hand polishing experience
