    Shet man nice work so far. nice look with the bumper mod. Also like the rims. What kind of shocks are you running? I have Toxic Shocks all around and it rides pretty sweet.What color are you gonna paint it? That flat military green looks cool. I know its just a primmer though.

    Yeah new shocks will make a huge difference. Toxic shocks are made for lowered trucks and about $60 each. So flat red body?

    I like the truck, the Cobra wheels look nice. I always liked those.

    and swap your front right and left wheels, the tires are pointed the wrong way.

    69 Camaro front shocks work. You just have to make the 2 bottom holes a little bit wider. Trust me it will ride very nice if you get some. I got KYB GAS-A-Just on my truck. You have to choose what kind of Camaro you want to get them off because they made like 3 size v8s or something. I think I said 302 when I ordered my shocks. Once again the shocks are meant for the weight of a V8 so they work awesome and they will probably last a long time too I've had mine for a few years.

    How much did u pay for the shocks? I think I'd be good just with the front ones. I like the jet fighter look but seems like everyone does it now a days or atleast try's lol

    Shark mouth with the top of the shark mouth starting from the top of the front wheel wells and the bottom of it starting an inch or two above the bottom of the front fender wheel wells.

    and paint the front wheels white to go to suit with it.
