I have a set of wheel controls here, and a wheel, lots of work to integrate.



Oh I know that all too well. I quit professionally installing when shops started using t taps for remote starts and calling it acceptable.

When I was in the market I was about to buy a truck without them so I looked into it. The hardest part for sure would be finding a competent tech to flash the bcm.

I am not sure what vendor I got them from I just typed in clear Silverado headlamps 06.

I have a couple places I have been using. The one for my steel pieces goes to IM Fab in Saint Joe and the custom colors and aluminum goes to industrial coatings in KCK.


Man time has been non existent for me. I have like 4 projects going and business is nuts.

Looks good dude! How do you like those shocks? I have been considering those for awhile now.


Love them. They have been on all my leveled trucks. My old truck is still wearing a set 130k miles later.

I have a buddy who works for gm that says no issue.

Have you had good luck with industrial coatings? I've used then to ceramic coat some up pipes and they turned out great.
I get my pickup dyno'd at KC engines next door. Both places have a good group of guys!!!

I can understand on the time. I've only been able to speed time with family lately with everything going on.

Oh yes they do all of my headers for me. I have used Phil for the better part of 10 years for my powder work. He knows them well. He did the wheels on my single wheel truck and so many others. Funny that Tony used to make people think he knew what he was doing. Haha it was Phil all along.

They have a great group through all of the business they have put together.

I understand as well.

Whats a good point of contact for the ceramic coating. I had a local place quote my manifolds and they claimed to charge about $100 per manifold and $20/foot for the up pipes. Seemed a little steep

Not much of an update, but I used the ole girl to shuffle the race car back to the shop so I can haul it to the city with the crew cab for service work before the track event next weekend.



Not a bad looking setup I say.







Did well on the road, albeit rough with the short wheel base.



BUT did push it a little hard and spit some coolant out the overflow.






Back to storage in the warehouse for now.

Any updates on this one? I am first in line if it goes for sale also.



It's in for a full overhaul right now. All new fuel system, motor mounts, water pump and housing, thermostat and all fluids. Hoping to get it back so I can update the body work and then get it it wrapped something cool and have it ready for snowy weather.
