    Red face This is Paula.

    The first vehicle I've owned from good old 'Murica. '97 c3500. Got a baby 5.7 in it with the beast 4l80e trans. DJM kit with some Eagle alloy 17's. Other than that it's mostly stock. After it's painted it's getting some love in the maintenance dept, then it's a full time hauler for the 323 come track season. MPG's....don't want to talk about it. lol

    Day one.



    Day two. Went to pick up my roomate's '96 3500.



    Day three. Fiance doing a little wet sanding. I definitely made the right choice there.



    Day five. First coat. Kinda thin.



    Been working hard since I got it. Hope to stunt on them hoes at the track.

    I love it. I really need something like this, but can't have any project vehicles where I live.

    But I like the grille.. lol

    Here's some shots of the final outcome. I probably should have done another coat of clear but overall I'm really happy with it. This was my first job by the way.

    I'd like to, but it's got a couple other more important things needed, like tires. lol

    Goodies will come eventually.
