Well..trying for a tuner style look. Heres a few pics..sound system is missing amps still and thinking of rims for it. And i know the bed is tilted..its just resting on the chassis. And don't know what I'm gonna do for exhaust...leave stock or tuner style...

No more subs...the open areas are awaiting an amp on both sides. the amp is 1 3/8" It wil take up most room. not sure on rims...either stock or some xs tining rims...in white.

ahh, ok. that's understandable, you'll need something to drive the subs.

I wish I could, but it won't go any farther down with out looking wierd. I have the fender flares on and if the tires tuck into the fender..its doesnt look quite right. Right now, the tires are just barely touching the fender, i did manage to lower it 1/4 inch on the model itself. As for the exhaust, i think i have a good idea. i'll get some things held together and take some picks tomorrow and let you all see it.

That is the lowest I can get it with my skills. I messed up on the side moldings so I have to repaint them...might drop the height down a little. Other than that, this is a pretty decent kit.

It looks great, and it doesn't need any lowering it looks perfect this way :thumbsup:

2 make it lower you could go with a wider rim 2 keep it by the fender flares and a lower profile tire so it sits lower but if not thats kool still looks great! :)

For those of you following this build, its almost complete. The exhaust is on, the chassis is finished, I just sprayed the interior parts today but they still need detail painting. I'll post al the pics I got (14) and let you al tel me what you think. Thanks for watching.

Sorry for all the pics, I love how this truck is turning out. Hopefully it will be done tomorrow giving me time to start my Escalade.

Im not entirely sure... The instructions say its a OHC I-4 with either Turbo or Carb. The only thing I managed to find online is that its a 2.3 litre.
Well, I finally finished the model. I love the interior and everything in it. And I'll prob get alot of questions about the intake. Well, here goes.
