I was pretty surprised they didn't get business done too.
Lol I can't remember exactly what it was that happened... I think the guy went back on the price he was willing to take for it or something like that. He wanted almost as much as a brand new one and it had a dent.

Thanks fellas! I'm getting super pumped again
Yeeeeeah.... Like JD said, the guy ended up being a scum bag. Hood had never been installed but had a dent in a tough spot, plus he had been sitting on it for a long time so I low balled him at $250. He took it and it was set in motion. Made plans to have it picked up and the guy tried to run my credit card for $750 lol. So I passed. He's still got it too
Can't decide if I want to polish the housings and paint match the piping or the other way around. Personally, I think polishing or paint matching everything will be to much. What do you think? The old BFT looked good the way you had it
Only for Nachos!!

I didn't catch what the color was going to be? Since I went with powder coating the pipes black untried to do all the fittings (a/n fittings and what not) the same and also keep all hoses the same.
Neat and getting to stuff easy is what I like, that's why I changed where my regulator went. Only if I could've found a regulator that could take that PSI and not look like a black rubber fist

Yeah, I'm gonna have JD mount my regulator like yours was for sure. We are painting this one a variation of a Foose butterscortch pearl.
I'm tempted to have the valve covers polished to match the polishing elsewhere.

Polishing the valve covers would look awesome. But with all the crap covering them you would not be able to see them. Save your money and put it elsewhere.

Picking my truck up tomorrow from paint! Hopefully you guys won't be much longer. I really want to see that truck in the color ya'll chose. I was thinking about going with an orange, and then I saw your thread here. I ended up going with a blue pearl - it looks amazing in pics, I hope it looks as good (or better) in person.
Here's a teaser...
That looks Badass. Is that Deep Impact Blue? I have been thinking about painting mine DIB, and using some flat black for any trim colors. That truck looks killer.

Yeah thats true. I love the way Settlemire's truck looked with all his stuff polished. I'll probably clone what he did, minus the black.

I am with on that Steve. When you lift the hood, and you need a pair of sunshades to look at the motor, then you have enough Bling under he hood LOL

Zane was supposed to take the truck over to industrial and hit it hard with 4 stages. Just never came to fruition. This little truck isn't gonna do anything impressive on fuel since its stock. I'll be happy with 730-750. What I really want is to run an 11.90 or better at bandimere. Either way, build something that'll make power other than a ski boat and we'll talk
