Ha thanks man. This stuff is easy to do quick. It's gonna slow fast when it's time for studs. That's a 3k bullet.

haha yup. moved some stuff around and the console is on its way here (tuesday delivery). paint should be done early this next week was hoping it would be ready to pic up tomorrow but it is what it is.

other than that i had the joy of fixing my leaking rear window today. had a leak problem when it rained monday and got some more window adhesive and cleaned it up back there. should have fixed it all up.

now its just to decide what brand gauges i want. glow shift for around 200 or less or isspro ev2 for 450 ish

isspro ev2 Best money spent! They are sexy and well worth the cost to me, I mean the guage is the vital point of the parts. You get a cheap, crappy gauge for a nice shiny part. Just doesn't add up to me LOL.

Is there a day were you do nothing to the truck? LOL

true i do feel like the glowshift will look cheaper but ive been hearing they fixed their sending unit issues. ill probably end up with some ev2's but gotta get my paint back and see where im at.

and yes there are days here and there but for the most part the wheels are always turning.

did an estimate last night but the rough total spent on this truck after purchase is around 8k including the wheels and tires. that doesnt include money back from selling parts which drops that substantially. its pretty crazy to think about it haha.

Why chance it and spend the money twice? You won't regret the ev'2's! Paint pictures are where? Going on mid day week! LOL I mean for mods, seems like it never stops, can I haz some seeds. =)

NEVER, I repeat NEVER put a cost on parts! I did with guns since july (turned 21) and lets just say I could buy a brand new mid size car, cash with the money I spent on guns.

Made up my mind on the ev2's last night. Gonna order them in a few days.

Haha it wasn't fun to think about but it was a good reality check to see it like that.
